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 $$x + y = 1$$
