JEE Advanced · Mathematics · 32. Probability

Consider the system of equations
where \(\quad a, b, c, d \in\{0,1\}\)
Statement 1 The probability that the system of equations has a unique solution, is \(3 / 8\).
Statement 2 The probability that the system of equations has a solution, is 1 .

  1. A
    Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B
    Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. C
    Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. D
    Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B)
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of all possible deteminants of the form



Out of which only 10 determinants given by


vanish and remaining six determinants have non-zero values.
Hence, the required probability \(=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) Statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2 is also correct as the homogeneous equations have always a solution and Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.
