Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) infinite number of solutions for \(\lambda=-1\) and \(\mu=3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Augmented matrix [A:B] = \(\left[\begin{array}{rrrr}1 & -1 & -2 & 6 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 & \mu \\ \lambda & 1 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right]\) \(\sim\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1 & -1 & -2 & 6 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 & \mu+6 \\ \lambda+1 & 0 & -1 & 9\end{array}\right]\) Applying…
