Mark the correct alternative in the following:

The system of equation x + y + z = 2, 3x – y + 2z = 6 and 3x + y + z = –18 has


The given system of equations is


x + y + z = 2


3x – y + 2z = 6


3x + y + z = -18


The matrix equation corresponding to this system is :-



Let A =


|A| = = 1(-1-2) -1(3-6) + 1(3+3)


= -3+3+6 = 6


i.e., |A| 0


A unique solution of the system exists.
