Let a, λ, u R . Consider the system of linear equations
ax+2y=λ
3x-2y=μ
Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct ?

  1. A If a=-3, then the system has infinitely many solutions for all values of λ and μ
  2. B If a -3, then the system has a unique solution for all values of λ and μ
  3. C If λ+μ=0, then the system has infinitely many solutions for a=-3
  4. D If λ+μ0, then the system has no solution for a=-3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) If a -3, then the system has a unique solution for all values of λ and μ

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

ax+2y=λ
3x-2y=μ
If a=-3 lines will be parallel or coincident, parallel for λ+μ0 and coincident if λ+μ=0 and if a  -3 lines are intersecting unique solution.
If parallel then no solution & If coincident then infinite solution
