The values of

\alpha

for which the system of equations

\begin{array}{l} x + y + z = 1\\ x + 2y + 4z = \mathrm{\alpha }\\ x + 4y + 10z = {\mathrm{\alpha }^2} \end{array}

Is consistent, are

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

1,2

Option C (1,2) is correct because these are the values of

\alpha

for which the system of equations is consistent, obtained by setting the determinant of the augmented matrix to zero.
