MCQ
Number of real values of $\lambda$ for which the matrix $A =$ $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\lambda  - 1}&\lambda &{\lambda  + 1}\\2&{ - 1}&3\\ {\lambda  + 3}&{\lambda  - 2}&{\lambda  + 7}\end{array}} \right]$ has no inverse
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • infinite

Answer

Correct option: D.
infinite
d
$| A | = 0$ for all $\lambda \in R ==> A$ is singular.

Hence inverse can not be found for any value of $\lambda \in R$ ==> $(D)$

Use $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - (R_3 - R_1)$
