Q46 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (31 Jan Shift 1) · Mathematics

If the system of linear equations

x-2y+z=-4

2x+αy+3z=5

3x-y+βz=3

has infinitely many solutions, then 12α+13β is equal to

  • A
    60
  • B
    64
  • C
    54
  • Correct answer
    D
    58

Solution

Given:

The system of linear equations 

x-2y+z=-4, 

2x+αy+3z=5 and

3x-y+βz=3 has infinity many solutions,

So, △=△1=△2=△3

Now, finding, 

△2=1-4125333β=0

⇒5β-9+8β-36-9=0

⇒13β=54

And, △3=1-2-42α53-13=0

⇒3α+5+12-30+8+12α=0

⇒15α=5

⇒12α=4

Hence, the value of 12α+13β=4+54=58

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
