JEE Main · MathematicsHard

If the system of equations , , and has no solution, then:

  1. A.
  2. B.
  3. C.
  4. D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: B

Solution

  1. Consider the system of equations: , , and .
  2. For the system to have no solution, the second and third equations must represent parallel planes, which requires the coefficients of and to be proportional, implying .
  3. With , the second and third equations become and .
  4. If , these two planes are parallel and distinct, meaning there is no point of intersection for the system.
  5. Hence the answer is (B).
