    A) 0

    B) 1

    C) 2

    D) Infinite

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    For the system of given homogeneous equations \[\Delta =\left| \,\begin{matrix}    1 & \,\,1 & -1  \\    3 & -1 & -1  \\    1 & -3 & \,\,1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=1(-1-3)-1(3+1)-1(-9+1)\] \[=-4-4+8=0\].\There are infinite number of solutions.
