Let and be real numbers. consider the following system of linear equations

Match each entry in List - I to the correct entries in List-II

List-I
(P) If and , then the system has
(Q) If and , then the system has
(R) If where and , then the system has
(S) If where and , then the system has

List-II
(1) a unique solution
(2) no solution
(3) infinitely many solutions
(4) and as a solution
(5) and as a solution

The correct option is :
  1. (A)✓ Correct
  2. (B)
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (A)

Solution

The determinant of the coefficient matrix is:


If , then .

(P) When and : Computing , , all equal zero, so the system has infinitely many solutions. P → (3)

(Q) When and : but at least one of , , is non-zero, so the system has no solution. Q → (2)

(R) When , , : , so the system has a unique solution. R → (1)

(S) When , , : , so the system has a unique solution. Checking: when , , we can verify that is the solution (not the one in option 5). S → (4) [assuming option 4 exists in the original]

Answer: (A)
