JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2023 - 30th January Morning Shift - No. 3)
Let the system of linear equations
$$x+y+kz=2$$
$$2x+3y-z=1$$
$$3x+4y+2z=k$$
have infinitely many solutions. Then the system
$$(k+1)x+(2k-1)y=7$$
$$(2k+1)x+(k+5)y=10$$
has :
unique solution satisfying $$x-y=1$$
infinitely many solutions
no solution
unique solution satisfying $$x+y=1$$
Explanation
$$x + y + kz = 2$$ ............(i)
$$2x + 3y - z = 1$$ ..........(ii)
$$3x + 4y + 2z = k$$ ......(iii)
(1) + (2)
$$3x + 4y + z(k - 1) = 3$$
Comparing with (3)
$$k = 3$$
Now, $$4x + 5y = 7$$
$$ \Rightarrow 3x + 3y = 3$$
$$7x + 8y = 10$$
as $${4 \over 7} \ne {5 \over 8}$$
$$\therefore$$ Unique solution satisfying $$x + y = 1$$
