Question:

Find values of $a$ and $b$ such that system of equations $x + y + z = 6, x + 2y + 3z = 10, x + 2y + az = b$ has: (i) unique solution, (ii) no solution, (iii) infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-Step Solution

$|A| = a - 3$. (i) Unique solution: $a
eq 3, b \in \mathbb{R}$. [1.0 Mark]
(ii) No solution: $a = 3, b
eq 10$. [1.0 Mark]
(iii) Infinite solutions: $a = 3, b = 10$. [1.0 Mark]
