The ordered pair $(a, b)$, for which the system of linear equations  $3 x-2 y+z=b$  ;  $5 x-8 y+9 z=3$  ;  $2 x+y+a z=-1$ has no solution, is

A

$\left(3, \frac{1}{3}\right)$

B

$\left(-3, \frac{1}{3}\right)$

C

$\left(-3,-\frac{1}{3}\right)$

D

$\left(3,-\frac{1}{3}\right)$

(JEE MAIN-2022)

Solution

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 3 & -2 & 1 \\ 5 & -8 & 9 \\ 2 & 1 & a \end{array}\right|=0$

$3(-8 a-9)+2(5 a-18)+1(21)=0$

$\Rightarrow a=-3$

Also $\Delta_{2}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -2 & b^{\frac{1}{3}} \\ 5 & 8 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 & -1\end{array}\right|$

If $b =\frac{1}{3}$

$\Delta_{2}=0$

So $b$ must be equal to $-\frac{1}{3}$
