The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and equations step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We know that: - \( a, b, c \) are in geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio \( r_1 \). - \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) are also in G.P. with common ratio \( r_2 \). - The equations: \[ ax + \alpha y + z = 0, \] \[ bx + \beta y + z = 0, \] \[ cx + \gamma y + z = 0 \] have only the trivial solution (i.e., the only solution is \( x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 \)). ### Step 2: Express \( b \) and \( c \) in terms of \( a \) Since \( a, b, c \) are in G.P. with common ratio \( r_1 \): - \( b = ar_1 \) - \( c = ar_1^2 \) ### Step 3: Express \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \) in terms of \( \alpha \) Similarly, since \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) are in G.P. with common ratio \( r_2 \): - \( \beta = \alpha r_2 \) - \( \gamma = \alpha r_2^2 \) ### Step 4: Formulate the Determinant The system of equations can be represented in matrix form as: \[ \begin{vmatrix} a & \alpha & 1 \\ ar_1 & \alpha r_2 & 1 \\ ar_1^2 & \alpha r_2^2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] For the system to have only the trivial solution, the determinant must be non-zero. ### Step 5: Calculate the Determinant Calculating the determinant: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} a & \alpha & 1 \\ ar_1 & \alpha r_2 & 1 \\ ar_1^2 & \alpha r_2^2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] We can factor out \( a \) from the first column and \( \alpha \) from the second column: \[ D = a \alpha \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ r_1 & r_2 & 1 \\ r_1^2 & r_2^2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 6: Evaluate the Remaining Determinant The remaining determinant can be evaluated using the formula for the determinant of a 3x3 matrix: \[ \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ r_1 & r_2 & 1 \\ r_1^2 & r_2^2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (r_1 - r_2)(r_1 - 1)(r_2 - 1) \] Thus, \[ D = a \alpha (r_1 - r_2)(r_1 - 1)(r_2 - 1) \] ### Step 7: Set Conditions for Non-Zero Determinant For the determinant \( D \) to be non-zero: - \( a \neq 0 \) - \( \alpha \neq 0 \) - \( r_1 - r_2 \neq 0 \) - \( r_1 - 1 \neq 0 \) - \( r_2 - 1 \neq 0 \) ### Step 8: Analyze the Options The question asks which of the following statements is not true based on the conditions derived. Since we have established that \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) must be equal to 1 for the determinant to be zero, we can check the options against this condition. ### Conclusion After evaluating the conditions, we find that if all conditions are satisfied, then all statements regarding \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) being equal to 1 and not equal to each other must be checked against the options provided.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and equations step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We know that: - \( a, b, c \) are in geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio \( r_1 \). - \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) are also in G.P. with common ratio \( r_2 \). - The equations: \[ ...
