If the system equations

(\lambda-1) x+(3 \lambda+1) y+2 \lambda z=0

(\lambda-1) x+(4 \lambda-2) y+(\lambda+3) z=0

, and

2 x+(3 \lambda+1) y+3(\lambda-1) z=0

has non-trivial solutions for some values of

\lambda

, then the ratio

x: y: z

when

\lambda

has the smallest of these values, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

1: 1: 1

Option D (1: 1: 1) is correct because when λ = 0, the system of equations simplifies, leading to the ratio x:y:z = 1:1:1.
