The following system of equations:
x + y - z = 7
\(4 x+\lambda y-\lambda z=3\)
3x + 2y - 4x = 5
does not possess a solution if the value of \(\lambda\) is:
- A 3
- B -3
- C -4
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 4
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(det \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & -1 \\ 4 & \lambda & -\lambda \\ 3 & 2 & -4 \end{pmatrix} = 0\) \(1(-4\lambda - (-2\lambda)) - 1(-16 - (-3\lambda)) - 1(8 - 3\lambda) = 0\) \(-2\lambda + 16 - 3\lambda - 8 + 3\lambda = 0\) \(-2\lambda + 8 = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 4\) For…
