The set of all values of \(\lambda \) for which the system of linear equations \(x - 2y - 2z = \lambda x\) ; \(x + 2y + z = \lambda y\) ; \(-x - y = \lambda z\) has non zero solutions.

  1. A is a singleton
  2. B contains exactly two elements
  3. C is an empty set
  4. D contains more than two elements
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) is a singleton

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\lambda - 1}&2&2\\ 1&{2 - \lambda }&1\\ 1&1&1 \end{array}} \right| = 0\) \( \Rightarrow {\left( {\lambda - 1} \right)^3} = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 1\)
