2x+3y+5z=32 x+3 y+5 z=3

8x−19y−39z=μ8 x-19 y-39 z=\mu

has infinitely many solutions, then λ4−μ\lambda^{4}-\mu is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    49

  2. Option B:

    45

  3. Option C:

    47

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    51

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

11x+y+λz=−511 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+\lambda \mathrm{z}=-5

2x+3y+5z=32 x+3 y+5 z=3 8x−19y−39z=μ8 x-19 y-39 z=\mu

for infinite sol.

D=∣111λ2358−19−39∣=0\mathrm{D}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}11 & 1 & \lambda\\ 2 & 3 & 5 \\8 & -19 & -39\end{array}\right|=0

⇒11(−117+95)−1(−78−40)+λ(−38−24)\Rightarrow 11(-117+95)-1(-78-40)+\lambda(-38-24)

⇒11(−22)+118−λ(62)=0\Rightarrow 11(-22)+118-\lambda(62)=0 ⇒62λ=118−242\Rightarrow 62 \lambda=118-242

⇒λ=−12462=−2\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{-124}{62}=-2

D1=∣−51−2335μ−19−39∣=0{{\text{D}}_{1}}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}-5 & 1 & -2 \\ 3 & 3 & 5 \\ \mu & -19 & -39\end{array} \right|=0 \\{}

 ⇒−5(−117+95)−1(−117−5μ)−2(−57−3μ)=0~\Rightarrow -5\left( -117+95 \right)-1\left( -117-5\mu \right)-2\left( -57-3\mu \right)=0 \\{}

 ⇒−5(−22)+117+5μ+114+6μ=0~\Rightarrow -5\left( -22 \right)+117+5\mu +114+6\mu =0 \\{}

 ⇒11μ=−110−231=−341 ⇒μ=−31~\Rightarrow 11\mu =-110-231=-341 \\{} ~\Rightarrow \mu =-31 \\{}

λ4−μ=(−2)4−(−31)=16+31=47 {{\lambda }^{4}}-\mu ={{(-2)}^{4}}-\left( -31 \right)=16+31=47
