Q46 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 1) · Mathematics

If x=α, y=β, z=y is the unique solution of the system of equations 5x-7y+3z=0, 7x+10y-8z=3 and 2x+3y-4z+4=0, then β=

  • A
    12
  • Correct answer
    B
    2
  • C
    -2
  • D
    -12

Solution

Given equations are

5x-2y+3z=0    ...(1)

7x+10y-8z=3  ....(2)

2x+3y-4z=-4   ...(3)

Now,

D=5-23710-823-4

∴ D=5-40--8×3+2-28+16+321-20

∴ D=-80-24+3=-101

Dy=50373-82-44

∴ Dy=512-32+3-28-6=-202

∴ y=β=DyD=-202-101=2

∴ β=2

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