(1) Examine the solvability of the system of equations and solve, if possible.
(i) x + y + z = 1, 2x + y + 2z = 1, x + 2y + 3z = 0;
(ii) x + y + z = 1, 2x + y + 2z = 2, 3x + 2y + 3z = 5;
(iii) x + 2y + z − 3w = 1, 2x + 4y + 3z + w = 3, 3x + 6y + 4z − 2w = 5;
(iv) x + 2y + z − 3w = 1, 2x + 4y + 3z + w = 3, 3x + 6y + 4z − 2w = 4.
(2) For what values of k the system of equations has a non-trivial solution? Solve in each
case:
(i) x + y + z = kx, x + y + z = ky, x + y + z = kz;
(ii) x + 2y + 3z = kx, 2x + y + 3z = ky, 2x + 3y + z = kz.
(3) Determine the Conditions on a, b for which the systems of linear equations admits of (i)
only one solution, (ii) no solution, (iii) infinitely many solutions. Solve completely in
each consistent case:
(i) x + y + z = 1, x + 2y − z = b, 5x + 7y + az = b2 ;
(ii) x − y + z = 1, x + 2y + 4z = a, 5x + 4y + 6z = a2 ;
(iii) x + y + z = 1, 2x + 3y − z = a + 1, 2x + y + 5z = a2 + 1;
(iv) x + 2y + z = 1, 2x + y + 3z = b, x + ay + 3z = b + 1;

(4) Find the rank, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and inverses (by elementary row operations and
Cayley-Hamilton
theorem)

following
matrices:
2 0 1 6 2 0 2 0 1 1 2 3
(i)−1 2 3, (ii)2 3 0 , (iii)0 2 1, (iv)3 0 4,

Verify that, each of the above matrix satisfies Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Further,
check whether the matrices are diagonalizable or not. If yes then find the corresponding
diagonal matrix.
