The greatest value of \(c \in R\) for which the system of linear equations \(x - cy - cz = 0 \,\,;\,\, cx - y + cz = 0 \,\,;\,\, cx + cy - z = 0 \) has a non -trivial solution, is

  1. A \(-1\)
  2. B \(0.5\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For non -trivial solution \(D = 0\) \(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - c}&{ - c}\\ c&{ - 1}&c\\ c&c&{ - 1} \end{array}} \right| = 0 \Rightarrow 2{c^3} + 3{c^2} - 1 = 0\) \( \Rightarrow {\left( {c + 1} \right)^2}\left( {2c - 1} \right) = 0\) \(\therefore \) Greatest value of…
