Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 1 February (Evening Shift)

Let the system of equations x+2 y+3 z=5, 2 x+3 y+z=9, 4 x+3 y+ z= have infinite number of solutions. Then +2 is equal to :

  1. 22
  2. 17
  3. 15
  4. 28

Answer

(2) 17

Solution

Since the system has infinitely many solutions, Cramer's rule needs = 1 = 2 = 3 = 0.

= vmatrix1&2&3\\2&3&1\\4&3& vmatrix = (3 - 3) - 2(2 - 4) + 3(6 - 12) = - - 13

so = 0 gives = -13.

Replacing the z-column by the constants,

3 = vmatrix1&2&5\\2&3&9\\4&3& vmatrix = (3 - 27) - 2(2 - 36) + 5(6 - 12) = 15 -

hence 3 = 0 gives = 15.

With = -13 and = 15, 1 and 2 also come out zero, and the first two equations are independent, so the system indeed has infinitely many solutions.

Therefore + 2 = -13 + 30 = 17

Answer: (2)
