Solution

The correct option is D Infinitely many
x+y+z=0 (1)

2x+3y+z=0 (2)

x+2y=0 (3)

From equation (3), we have

x=2y

Putting this value of x in equations (1), we

get 2y+y+z=0y=z

Hence x=2z

Thus, the solution of the given system of equations is (2z,z,z), where z is a parameter (ZR).

Hence the system has infinite number of solutions including zero solution.
