MCQ
The values of $\theta, \lambda$ for which the following equations $\sin \theta x - cos\theta y + (\lambda +1)z = 0$; $\cos\theta x + \sin\theta\, y - \lambda z = 0$;$ \lambda x +(\lambda + 1)y + \cos\theta z = 0$ have non trivial solution, is
  • A
    $\theta = n\pi , \lambda \in R - {0}$
  • B
    $\theta = 2n\pi , \lambda $ is any rational number
  • C
    $\theta = (2n + 1)\pi , \lambda   \in R+, n \in I$
  • $\theta = (2n + 1),\frac{\pi }{2} \lambda \in R, n \in I$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\theta = (2n + 1),\frac{\pi }{2} \lambda \in R, n \in I$
d
for non trivial solution $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\sin \theta }&{ - \cos \theta }&{\lambda  + 1}\\{\cos \theta }&{\sin \theta }&{ - \lambda }\\\lambda &{\lambda  + 1}&{\cos \theta }\end{array}\,} \right|$ $= 0$ ;

this gives $2$ $\cos\theta (\lambda^2 + \lambda + 1) = 0$
