The system of equations $x + y + z = 2$,$3x - y + 2z = 6$ and $3x + y + z = - 18$ has
A
A unique solution
B
No solutions
C
An infinite number of solutions
D
Zero solution as the only solution
Solution
(a) Given system of equation can be written as $\left[ {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&1&1\\3&{ – 1}&2\\3&1&1\end{array}\,} \right]\,\left[ \begin{array}{l}x\\y\\z\end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{l}\,\,\,2\\\,\,\,6\\ – 18\end{array} \right]$
On solving the above system we get the unique solution
$x = -10, y = -4, z = 16.$
