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.
