If the system of equations
\(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\alpha & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & -\alpha & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & -\alpha\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}\alpha-1 \\ \alpha-1 \\ \alpha-1\end{array}\right]\) is inconsistent, then \(\alpha=\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-2\)
