Case (i) : λ−3=0 and μ−10
=0
(ie) λ=3,μ
=10
ρ(A)=2,ρ(A,B)=3
∴ρ(A)
=ρ(A,B)
The given system is inconsistent but has no solution.
Case (ii) : λ−3
=0 and μ∈R
(ie) λ
=3
\rho(A) = \rho(A,B) =3$$
The given system is consistent and has unique solution.
Case (iii) : λ=3 and μ=10
ρ(A)=ρ(A,B)=2< number of unknowns.
The given system is consistent but has an infinite number of solutions.
