If the system of equations \(x+y+a z=b\) \(2 x+5 y+2 z=6\) \(x+2 y+3 z=3\) has infinitely many solutions, then \(2 a+3 b\) is equal to \(...........\).

  1. A \(23\)
  2. B \(28\)
  3. C \(25\)
  4. D \(20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(23\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & a \\ 2 & 5 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right|=0 \Rightarrow 11-4- a =0\) \(a=7\) \(\Delta_1=\left|\begin{array}{lll} b & 1 & a \\ 6 & 5 & 2 \\ 3 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right|=0 \Rightarrow 11 b -12-21=0\) \(b =3\) \(2 a+3 b=23\)
