Consider the system of simultaneous equations
x + 2y + z = 6
2x + y + 2z = 6
x + y + z = 5
This system has
-
- unique solution
- infinite number of solutions
- no solution
- exactly two solutions
- unique solution
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.
