Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A X=D\) will have infinite number of solutions when \(\alpha < 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(A X=D\) be a system of three linear non-homogeneous equation. \(|A|=0\) \(\therefore\) Equation have not unique solution. But rank \((A)=\operatorname{rank}(A D)=\alpha\) \(\therefore\) If \(\alpha < 3\), then equation has infinite number of solutions.
