Let λ,μ∈R\lambda, \mu \in \mathrm{R}. If the system of equations 3x+5y+λz=33 x+5 y+\lambda z=3, 7x+11y−9z=27 x+11 y-9 z=2, 97x+155y−189z=μ97 \mathrm{x}+155 \mathrm{y}-189 \mathrm{z}=\mu has infinitely many solutions, then μ+2λ\mu+2 \lambda is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    25

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    24

  3. Option C:

    27

  4. Option D:

    22

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

3x+5y+λz=33 \mathrm{x}+5 \mathrm{y}+\lambda \mathrm{z}=3

7x+11y−9z=27 \mathrm{x}+11 \mathrm{y}-9 \mathrm{z}=2

97x+155y−189z=μ97 \mathrm{x}+155 \mathrm{y}-189 \mathrm{z}=\mu

93x+155y+31λz=9393 \mathrm{x}+155 \mathrm{y}+31 \lambda \mathrm{z}=93

97x+155y−189z=μ97 x+155 y-189 z=\mu

−−+−−4x+(31λ+189)z=93−μ\frac{-\quad -\quad +\quad -}{-4x + (31\lambda + 189)z = 93 - \mu} 1085x+1705y−1395z=3101085x + 1705y - 1395z = 310 1067x+1705y−2079z=11μ1067x + 1705y - 2079z = 11\mu −−+−‾\underline{-\quad -\quad +\quad -}

18x+684z=310−11μ18 \mathrm{x}+684 \mathrm{z}=310-11 \mu

−36x+9(31λ+189)z=9(93−μ)-36 x+9(31 \lambda+189) z=9(93-\mu)

36x+1368z=2(310−11μ)36 x+1368 z=2(310-11 \mu) (279λ+3069)z=1457−31μ(279 \lambda+3069) \mathrm{z}=1457-31 \mu

for infinite solutions -

λ=−3069279=−34131\lambda=\frac{-3069}{279}=\frac{-341}{31}

μ=145731\mu=\frac{1457}{31}

μ+2λ=1457−68231=77531=25\mu+2 \lambda=\frac{1457-682}{31}=\frac{775}{31}=25
