The system of equations:
\(x+y+z=5\)
\(x+2 y+3 z=9\)
\(x+3 y+\lambda z=\mu\) has a unique solution, if

  1. A \(\lambda=5, \mu=7\)
  2. B \(\lambda=5, \mu=13\)
  3. C \(\lambda \neq 5\)
  4. D \(\mu \neq 13\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\lambda \neq 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & \lambda \end{pmatrix}\) \(\det(A) = 1(2\lambda - 3 \times 3) - 1(1\lambda - 3 \times 1) + 1(1 \times 3 - 2 \times 1)\) \(\det(A) = (2\lambda - 9) - (\lambda - 3) + (3 - 2)\) \(\det(A) = 2\lambda - 9 - \lambda + 3 + 1\)…
