Let the system of linear equations $4 x+\lambda y+2 z=0$ ;  $2 x-y+z=0$ ;  $\mu x +2 y +3 z =0, \lambda, \mu \in R$ has a non-trivial solution. Then which of the following is true?

A

$\mu=6, \lambda \in R$

B

$\lambda=2, \mu \in R$

C

$\lambda=3, \mu \in R$

D

$\mu=-6, \lambda \in R$

(JEE MAIN-2021)

Solution

For non-trivial solution

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 4 & \lambda & 2 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \\ \mu & 2 & 3 \end{array}\right|=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 \mu-6 \lambda+\lambda \mu=12$

when $\mu=6, \quad 12-6 \lambda+6 \lambda=12$

which is satisfied by all $\lambda$
