Solution

The correct option is C

Rank A = Rank of C = n, unique solution


The given equations are consistent only when Rank of A = Rank of C.

When Rank of A = Rank of C = n.

Then there exists only a unique solution.

When Rank of A = Rank of C = r < n

Then there exists infinite solution.

Therefore b and c are correct.
