detailed solution

Correct option is D

Augmented Matrix =1236135925ab                                  Apply R2→R2-R1;R3→R3-2R1                                 ~1236012301a-6b-12                                      Apply R3→R3-R2                                  ~1236012300a-8b-15Thus,if a=8 and b=15,then the system is consistent, with an infinite no. of solutions.
