Easy MCQ +4 / -1

If A is singular (det=0), then AX = B has:

  1. A Unique solution
  2. B No solution
  3. C Infinitely many solutions or no solution Correct answer
  4. D Exactly two solutions

Solution

If det(A)=0, either no solution or infinitely many (Cramer's rule fails). The system is consistent only if rank(A) = rank([A|B]).
