Let \(a, b, c \notin\{0,1\}\). If the system of equations
\(\begin{aligned} & \Pi_1 \equiv x+a y+a z=0 \\ & \Pi_2 \equiv b x+y+b z=0 \\ & \Pi_3 \equiv c x+c y+z=0\end{aligned}\)
has a non-trivial solution, then the system of equations \(\Pi_1=a, \Pi_2=b, \Pi_3=c\) has

  1. A unique solution
  2. B infinite number of solutions
  3. C no solution
  4. D unique solution only when \(a=b=c\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) unique solution only when \(a=b=c\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given system of equations has a non-trivial solution \(\begin{aligned} & \Pi_1 \equiv x+a y+a z=0 \\ & \Pi_2 \equiv b x+y+b z=0 \\ & \Pi_3 \equiv c x+c y+z=0\end{aligned}\) It can be written as \(A X=0\) Where,…
