The number of solutions of the system of equations
\(\begin{array}{l}\alpha^2 x+\alpha y=-1 \\\alpha x+\alpha^2 y=1\end{array}\)
is infinite. Then \(\alpha\) is:

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B 1
  3. C -1
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) -1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For infinite solutions: \( \frac{\alpha^2}{\alpha} = \frac{\alpha}{\alpha^2} = \frac{-1}{1} \) \( \frac{\alpha^2}{\alpha} = -1 \) \( \alpha = -1 \)
