The system of linear equations \(x + \lambda y - z = 0,\lambda x - y - z = 0\;,\;x + y - \lambda z = 0\) has a non-trivial solution for:

  1. A exactly two values of \(\lambda \) 
  2. B exactly three values of  \(\;\lambda \)
  3. C infinitely many values of  \(\lambda \) 
  4. D exactly one value of \(\;\lambda \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) exactly three values of  \(\;\lambda \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Cramer's rule for solving system of linear equations - When \(\Delta=0\) and \(\Delta_{1}=\Delta_{2}=\Delta_{3}=0\) then the system of equations has infinite solutions. -wherein \(a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1} z=d_{1}\) \(a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2} z=d_{2}\) \(a_{3} x+b_{3} y+c_{3} z=d_{3}\)…
