Multiple Choice Options

  • A (2,72,6)∈S\left(2, \frac{7}{2}, 6\right) \in S
  • B If (3,b,112)∈S\left(3, b, \frac{1}{12}\right) \in S , then ∣2b∣<1|2 b|<1 .
  • C For any given (a,b,c)∈S(a, b, c) \in S , the system of linear equations ax+by=1bx+cy=−1\begin{aligned} & a x+b y=1 \\ & b x+c y=-1 \end{aligned} has a unique solution.
  • D For any given (a,b,c)∈S(a, b, c) \in S , the system of linear equations (a+1)x+by=0bx+(c+1)y=0\begin{aligned} & (a+1) x+b y=0 \\ & b x+(c+1) y=0 \end{aligned} has a unique solution.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(A)amp;ax2+2bxy+cy2gt;0∀(x,y)∈R2−{(0,0)}amp;⇒ax+2bxy+cy2 must represent pair of imaginary lines and a,cgt;0.amp;⇒b2lt;ac\begin{aligned}\text{(A)}\quad &amp; \mathrm{ax}^2+2 \mathrm{bxy}+\mathrm{cy}^2&gt;0 \forall(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}) \in \mathbb{R}^2-\{(0,0)\} \\&amp; \Rightarrow \mathrm{ax}+2 \mathrm{bxy}+\mathrm{cy}^2 \text { must represent pair of imaginary lines and } \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{c}&gt;0 . \\&amp; \Rightarrow \mathrm{b}^2&lt;\mathrm{ac}\end{aligned}

\mathrm{(B)}\quad\mathrm{b}^2&lt;3 \times \frac{1}{12} \Rightarrow|2 \mathrm{~b}|&lt;1

(C)\mathrm{(C)}\quad since b2≠ac\mathrm{b}^2 \neq \mathrm{ac}

⇒ax+by=1 and bx+cy=−1\Rightarrow \mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{by}=1 \text { and } \mathrm{bx}+\mathrm{cy}=-1

are not parallel lines.

\mathrm{(D)}\quad\mathrm{ac}+\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{c}&gt;\mathrm{b}^2 \Rightarrow lines are not parallel.

⇒\Rightarrow Options (B), (C), (D) are Correct.
