    The set of all values of A, for which the system of linear equations
    \[x-2y-2z=\lambda x\]
    \[x+2y+z=\lambda y\]
    \[-x-y=\lambda z\]

    A) is a singleton

    B) contains exactly two elements

    C) is an empty set

    D) contains more than two elements

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\left| \begin{matrix}    \lambda -1 & 2 & 2  \\    1 & 2-\lambda  & 1  \\    1 & 1 & \lambda   \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\lambda -{{1}^{3}}=0\]\[\Rightarrow \]            \[\lambda =1.\]
