normal
The existance of the unique solution of the system of equations$2x + y + z = \beta $ , $10x - y + \alpha z = 10$ and $4x+ 3y-z =6$ depends on
A
Both $\alpha $ and $\beta $
B
Neither $\beta $ nor $\alpha $
C
$\beta $ only
D
$\alpha $ only
Solution
For unique solution $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}{2} & {1} & {1} \\ {10} & {-1} & {\alpha} \\ {4} & {3} & {-1}\end{array}\right| \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow 2[1-3 \alpha]-1[-10-4 \alpha]+1[30+4] \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad 46-2 \alpha \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad \alpha \neq 23$
$\therefore \quad$ depend on only $\alpha$
