MCQ
The number of real values of $\lambda $ for which the system of linear equations $2x + 4y - \lambda  z = 0$ ;$4x + \lambda y + 2z = 0$ ; $\lambda x + 2y+ 2z = 0$ has infinitely many solutions, is
  • A
    $0$
  • $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1$
b
Since the given system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.

$\therefore \begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
2&4&{ - \lambda }\\
4&\lambda &2\\
\lambda &2&2
\end{array} = 0$

$ \Rightarrow {\lambda ^3} + 4\lambda  - 40 = 0$

$\lambda $ has only $1$ real root.
