    The system of equations \[x+y+z=0\] \[2x+3y+z=0\] and \[x+2y=0\] has

    A)  a unique solution; \[x=0,y=0,z=0\]

    B)  infinite solutions

    C)  no solution

    D)  finite number of non-zero solutions

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The given system of equations an \[x+y+z=0,\] \[2x+3y+z=0,\] and     \[x+2y=0\] Here, \[\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    2 & 3 & 1  \\    1 & 2 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=1\,(0-2)-1\,(0-1)\,+1\,(4-3)\] \[=-2+1+1=0\] \[\therefore \]This system has infinite solutions.
