The correct Answer is:
To determine the value(s) of \( \lambda \) for which the pair of linear equations 1. \( \lambda x + y = \lambda^2 \) 2. \( x + \lambda y = 1 \) has infinitely many solutions, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations in standard form We can rewrite both equations in the standard form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \). - For the first equation: \[ \lambda x + y - \lambda^2 = 0 \] Here, \( A_1 = \lambda \), \( B_1 = 1 \), and \( C_1 = -\lambda^2 \). - For the second equation: \[ x + \lambda y - 1 = 0 \] Here, \( A_2 = 1 \), \( B_2 = \lambda \), and \( C_2 = -1 \). ### Step 2: Set up the condition for infinitely many solutions For the system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the ratios of the coefficients must be equal: \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{C_1}{C_2} \] ### Step 3: Write the ratios From our equations, we have: - \( \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{\lambda}{1} = \lambda \) - \( \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{1}{\lambda} \) - \( \frac{C_1}{C_2} = \frac{-\lambda^2}{-1} = \lambda^2 \) Thus, we need to solve: \[ \lambda = \frac{1}{\lambda} = \lambda^2 \] ### Step 4: Solve the first pair of ratios From \( \lambda = \frac{1}{\lambda} \): Cross-multiplying gives: \[ \lambda^2 = 1 \] This implies: \[ \lambda = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad \lambda = -1 \] ### Step 5: Solve the second pair of ratios From \( \frac{1}{\lambda} = \lambda^2 \): Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 1 = \lambda^3 \] This implies: \[ \lambda = 1 \] ### Step 6: Find the common values The values obtained from the two conditions are: - From the first condition: \( \lambda = 1 \) or \( \lambda = -1 \) - From the second condition: \( \lambda = 1 \) The common value is: \[ \lambda = 1 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( \lambda \) for which the pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
