Consider the given system of equations
2x + y - z = 7
x - 3y + 2z = 1
and x + 4y - 3z = 5
From Eqs (i) and (ii), we get
5x - y = 15
and from Eqs (i) and (iii), we get
5x - y = 16
Since, Eqs (iv) and (v) shows that they are parallel and so solution does not exist.
For the equations x + 2y + 3z = 1, 2x + y + 3z = 2 and 5x + 5y + 9z = 4
there is only one solution
there exists infinitely many solution
there is no solution
None of the above
