    8x + 4y - λz = 9 + μ.... (iii)
    (i) ×4 - (ii) →5y + 16z = 8 .... (iv)
    (ii) ×2 - (iii) →2y + (λ- 8)z = -1 - μ.... (v)
    (iv) ×2 - (iii) ×5 →(32 - 5(λ- 8))z = 16 - 5( - 1 - μ)
    For infinite solutions →72 - 5 λ= 0 →λ= 72/5
    21 + 5 μ= 0 →μ= -21/5

  • Question 24
    2 / -0.83

    In a third order determinant, each element of the first column consists of sum of two terms, each element of the second column consists of sum of three terms and each element of the third column consists of sum of four terms. Then it can be decomposed into n determinants, where n has value

    Solution

    To determine the number of decomposed determinants, we start by considering the linearity property of determinants over columns. Each column in the given third-order determinant is a sum of terms: the first column has 2 terms per element, the second column has 3 terms per element, and the third column has 4 terms per element.

    1. First Column (2 terms per element) : Each element in the first column can be split into two terms, leading to 2 determinants.

    2. Second Column (3 terms per element) : Each element in the second column can be split into three terms. For each of the 2 determinants from the first column, splitting the second column results in  2 ×3=6  determinants.

    3. Third Column (4 terms per element) : Each element in the third column can be split into four terms. For each of the 6 determinants from the previous step, splitting the third column results in  6 ×4=24 determinants.

    Thus, the total number of decomposed determinants is  2 ×3 ×4=24  

    The value of n  is  24  

  • Question 25
    2 / -0.83

    The given system of equations is:
    ax + 2y + z = 1
    2ax + 3y + z = 1
    3x + ay + 2z = β
    For some α, β∈ℝ. The question asks which of the following is NOT correct.

    Solution

    The given system is represented in terms of determinants:
    D = | α2 1 |
    | 2 α3 1 |
    | 3 α2 |
    which gives D = 0 when α= -1 or α= 3.
    Dx = | 2 1 1 |
    | 3 1 1 |
    | α2 β|
    which gives
    Dx = 0 when β= 2.|
    Dy = | α1 1 || 2 α3 1 |
    | 3 2 β|
    which gives Dy = 0 (determinant is zero).
    Dz = | α2 1 |
    | 2 α3 1 |
    | 3 αβ|
    which gives Dz = 0.
    The solution states that when β= 2 and α= -1, the system has an infinite solution.
