Practice question
Question
Consider the below statements - (i) For a matrix system AX = B, there will be a unique solution only iff |A| ≠ 0. (ii) A system of equations will always be inconsistent if |A| = 0. (iii) If |A| = 0 and (adjA)B = 0, then the system will have infinite solutions. (iv) For consistency |A| will always be non-zero. Then which of the following statements are true?
Explanation
Look at it this way: rule: unique iff |A|≠0. If |A|=0 and (adjA)B=0, you get infinite solutions. So i and iii correct. Full logic.
