Let and be respectively the sets of all for which the system of linear equations



has unique solution and infinitely many solutions. Then
  1. (A) and is an infinite set
  2. (B) is an infinite set an
  3. (C) and
  4. (D) and ✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Factoring from the first row, the determinant of the coefficient matrix reduces to . The quadratic has discriminant , so it never vanishes for real . Hence the determinant is zero only at , and for every the system has a unique solution. Therefore and .
