If the system of equations 2x – y + z =0, x- 2y + z = 0 and ax – y + 2z = 0 has infinitely many solutions and f(x) is continuous function satisfying f(x)+f(x+5) = 2, then
is equal to
a) 0
b) 5
c) a
d) –2a
Solution
For system of given equations to have infinitely many solutions, we must have
or, 2x(-3) + 2-a + (-1+2a) = 0
or, a = 5
Now,
= –10 = -2a
Hence, (d).
