  1. Consider the system of simultaneous equations
    x + 2y + z = 6
    2x + y + 2z = 6
    x + y + z = 5
    This system has
    1. unique solution
    2. infinite number of solutions
    3. no solution
    4. exactly two solutions
Correct Option: C

Given equations are
x + 2y + z = 6
2x + y + 2z = 6
x + y + z = 5
Given system can be written as

Applying row operation
R2 → R2 – 2R1, R3 → R3 – R1

and applying R3 → 3R3 – R1

Since the rank of co-efficient matrix is 2 and rank of argument matrix is 3, which is not equal. Hence system has no solution.
