The number of solutions of the system of equations $2x + y - z = 7,\,\,x - 3y + 2z = 1,\,x + 4y - 3z = 5$ is

A

$3$

B

$2$

C

$1$

D

$0$

Solution

(d)  $\Delta = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2&1&{ – 1}\\1&{ – 3}&2\\1&4&{ – 3}\end{array}\,} \right|$

$ = 2(9 – 8) – 1( – 3 – 2) – 1(4 + 3) = 7 – 7 = 0$

Hence, number of solutions is zero.
