For real numbers \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\), consider the following system of linear equations: \(x+y-z=2, x+2 y+\alpha z=1,2 x-y+z=\beta\). If the system has infinite solutions, then \(\alpha+\beta\) is equal to \(.....\)

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For infinite solutions \(\Delta=\Delta_{1}=\Delta_{2}=\Delta_{3}=0\) \(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 2 & \alpha \\ 2 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right|=0\) \(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & \alpha \\ 2 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right|=0\)…
