The correct Answer is:
To determine the conditions under which the system of linear equations has a non-trivial solution, we need to analyze the given equations: 1. \( x + y + z = 0 \) 2. \( \frac{2x}{a} + \frac{3y}{b} + \frac{4z}{c} = 0 \) 3. \( \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} = 0 \) ### Step 1: Form the Coefficient Matrix To find the conditions for a non-trivial solution, we need to set up the coefficient matrix from the equations. The coefficients of \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) from the three equations can be represented as follows: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ \frac{2}{a} & \frac{3}{b} & \frac{4}{c} \\ \frac{1}{a} & \frac{1}{b} & \frac{1}{c} \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Determinant For the system to have a non-trivial solution, the determinant of this matrix must be zero. We will denote the determinant as \(D\): \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ \frac{2}{a} & \frac{3}{b} & \frac{4}{c} \\ \frac{1}{a} & \frac{1}{b} & \frac{1}{c} \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 3: Expand the Determinant Using the determinant formula, we can expand \(D\): \[ D = 1 \cdot \left( \frac{3}{b} \cdot \frac{1}{c} - \frac{4}{c} \cdot \frac{1}{b} \right) - 1 \cdot \left( \frac{2}{a} \cdot \frac{1}{c} - \frac{4}{c} \cdot \frac{1}{a} \right) + 1 \cdot \left( \frac{2}{a} \cdot \frac{1}{b} - \frac{3}{b} \cdot \frac{1}{a} \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ D = \frac{3}{bc} - \frac{4}{bc} - \left( \frac{2}{ac} - \frac{4}{ac} \right) + \left( \frac{2}{ab} - \frac{3}{ab} \right) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression Combining like terms gives: \[ D = \frac{-1}{bc} + \frac{2}{ac} - \frac{1}{ab} \] ### Step 5: Set the Determinant to Zero For a non-trivial solution, we set \(D = 0\): \[ \frac{-1}{bc} + \frac{2}{ac} - \frac{1}{ab} = 0 \] ### Step 6: Multiply by \(abc\) to Eliminate Denominators Multiplying through by \(abc\) to eliminate the denominators: \[ -a + 2b - c = 0 \] ### Step 7: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives us the relationship: \[ c + a = 2b \] ### Step 8: Conclusion This implies that \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in arithmetic progression (AP). ### Final Answer Thus, the condition for the system of equations to have a non-trivial solution is that \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are in AP.
