For the system of linear equations

$2 x+4 y+2 a z=b$

$x+2 y+3 z=4$

$2 x-5 y+2 z=8$

which of the following is NOT correct?

A

It has infinitely many solutions if $a=3, b=6$

B

It has unique solution if $a=b=6$

C

It has unique solution if $a=b=8$

D

It has infinitely many solution if $a=3, b=8$

Solution

$\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 4 & 2 a \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & -5 & 2\end{array}\right|=18(3-a)$

$\Delta_x=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}b & 4 & 2 a \\ 4 & 2 & 3 \\ 8 & -5 & 2\end{array}\right|=(64+19 b-72 a)$

For unique solution $\Delta=0$

$\Rightarrow a \neq 3$ and $b \in R$

For Infinitely many solution ;

$\Delta=\Delta_x=\Delta_y=\Delta_z=0$

$\Rightarrow a =3 \quad \because \Delta=0$

$\text { and } b =8 \quad \because \Delta_x=0$
