Question 23. If α,β are non real numbers satisfying x31=0 then the value of
λ+1αβαλ+β1β1λ+α
is equal to 
  1.    0
  2.    λ3
  3.    λ3+1
  4.    λ3−1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> λ3
:
B
x31=0x=1,ω,ω2
Here, α=ω,β=ω2

λ+1ωω2ωλ+ω21ω21λ+ω


Applying C1C1+C2+C3, then


λωω2λλ+ω21λ1λ+ω


Applying R2R2R1 and R3R3R1, then we get


λωω20λ+ω2ω1ω201ωλ+ωω2

=λ((λ+ω2ω)(λ+ωω2)(1ω)(1ω2))=λ(λ2)=λ3

  1.    −ω
  2.    ω2
  3.    1
  4.    ω
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> ω
:
D
Since Δ=ω22ω2=ω2. Therefore Δ2=ω4=ω.
Question 30. The system of equations x + y + z =2, 3x  y + 2z =6 and 3x + y + z =18 has
  1.    A unique solution
  2.    No solutions
  3.    An infinite number of solutions
  4.    Zero solution as the only solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> A unique solution
:
A
Given system of equation can be written as 111312311xyz=2618
On solving the above system we get the unique solution x = -10, y = -4, z = 16.
