The system of equations $x+y+z=6$, $x+2 y+5 z=9$, $x+5 y+\lambda z=\mu$ has no solution if

A$\lambda=17, \mu \neq 18$
B$\lambda \neq 17, \mu \neq 18$
C$\lambda=15, \mu \neq 17$
D$\lambda=17, \mu=18$
(JEE MAIN-2025)

Solution

$D=\left|\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \\ 1 & 5 & \lambda\end{array}\right|=0$
$\lambda=17$
$D_z=\left|\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & 6 \\ 1 & 2 & 9 \\ 1 & 5 & \mu\end{array}\right| \neq 0$
$\mu \neq 18$
