Previous Year Question (PYQs)



The system of equations x+2y+2z=5, x+2y+3z=6, x+2y+λz=μ has infinitely many solutions if 





Solution

Given System of Equations:

  • x+2y+2z=5
  • x+2y+3z=6
  • x+2y+λz=μ

Goal: Find values of λ and μ such that the system has infinitely many solutions

Step 1: Write Augmented Matrix

[A|B]=[1225123612λμ]

Step 2: Row operations: Subtract R1 from R2 and R3

[1225001100λ2μ5]

Step 3: For infinitely many solutions, rank of coefficient matrix = rank of augmented matrix < number of variables (3)

This happens when the third row becomes all zeros:

λ2=0andμ5=0

λ=2,μ=5

✅ Final Answer: λ=2, μ=5
