Q. Consider the system of equations
$a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1 z=d_1 $
$a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2 z=d_2 $
$a_3 x+b_3 y+c_3 z=d_3$
This system of equations can be written as $A X=B$, where $A=\begin{bmatrix}a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\ a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \\ a_3 & b_3 & c_3\end{bmatrix} . X=\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y \\ z\end{bmatrix}$ and $B=\begin{bmatrix}d_1 \\ d_2 \\ d_3\end{bmatrix}$.
If $A$ is singular and $(\operatorname{adj} A) B=0$, then the system $A X=B$ has

Determinants

Solution:

If $A$ is a singular matrix, then $|A|=0$ and if $(\text{adj} A) B=O$, then the system may be either consistent or inconsistent according as the system have either infinitely many solutions or no solution.
