Q47 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let [λ] be the greatest integer less than or equal to λ. The set of all values of λ for which the system of linear equations x+y+z=4, 3x+2y+5z=3, 9x+4y+(28+[λ])z=[λ] has a solution is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    R
  • B
    (-∞,-9)∪[-8,∞)
  • C
    (-∞,-9)∪(-9,∞)
  • D
    [-9,-8)

Solution

Given, the system of linear equations, 

x+y+z=4 ........................i

3x+2y+5z=3................ii

9x+4y+(28+[λ]]z=[λ].....................iii

D=1113259428+[λ]

=156+2λ-20-184+3λ-45+112-18 

D=−([λ]+9)

If D=-[λ]+9≠0 then unique solution
If D=-[λ]+9=0 then D1=D2=D3=0 infinite solutions

Hence,  λ∈R

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