38:  

The system of simultaneous equations
x + 2y + z = 6
2x + y + 2z = 6
x + y + z = 5
has

A.

unique solution

B.

infinite number of solutions

C.

no solution

D.

exactly two solutions

 
 

Option: C

Explanation :

Given equations are;

x + 2y + z = 6;

2x + y + 2z = 6;

x + y + z = 5

Given system can be written as

Applying row operation  

, we get

Applying 

, we get

Since rank of co-efficient matrix is 2 and rank of argument matrix is 3, which is not equal. Hence system has no solution.
