Ques. 1JEE Main 2025, 23 January (Morning Shift)

If the system of equations ( -1)x+( -4)y+ z=5 x+( -1)y+( -4)z=7 ( +1)x+( +2)y-( +2)z=9 has infinitely many solutions, then 2+ is equal to

  1. 20
  2. 10
  3. 6
  4. 12

Answer

(4) 12

Solution

Infinitely many solutions =0.

R1 R1-R2, R2 R2-R3, R2 R2-R1 gives =-2( -3)(2 +1) =3 or - 12

=- 12: x 0, no solution (rejected)

=3: eq. (3) =2 eq. (2) - eq. (1) on both sides, so consistent

2+ =12

Answer: (4)
