Solution:

Given system of equations are $ x+4y-2z=3 $ $ 3x+y+5z=7 $ $ 2x+3y+z=5 $ $ \therefore $ $ \Delta =\left| \begin{matrix} 1 & 4 & -2 \\ 3 & 1 & 5 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right| $ $ =1(1-15)-4(3-10)-2(9-2) $ $ =-14+28-14=0 $ Since, $ \Delta =0 $ and $ {{\Delta }_{2}}\ne 0 $ $ \therefore $ No solution will exist.
