Let $\alpha, \beta \in R$ be such that the system of linear equations $x+2y+z=5, 2x+y+\alpha z=5, 8x+4y+\beta z=18$ has no solution. Then $\frac{\beta}{\alpha}$ is equal to:

For what values of $a$ will the system of equations $x+y+z=1$, $2x+3y+2z=2$, and $ax+ay+2az=4$ have a unique solution?

Let $\lambda \in R$. The system of linear equations
$2x_{1} - 4x_{2} + \lambda x_{3} = 1$
$x_{1} - 6x_{2} + x_{3} = 2$
$\lambda x_{1} - 10x_{2} + 4x_{3} = 3$
is inconsistent for:

For the system $x-y+z=4, 2x+y-3z=0, x+y+z=2$,the values of $x, y, z$ respectively are given by

The number of non-trivial solutions of the system $x-y+z=0, x+2y-z=0, 2x+y+3z=0$ is

If the system of linear equations $8x + y + 4z = -2$,$x + y + z = 0$,and $\lambda x - 3y = \mu$ has infinitely many solutions,then the distance of the point $\left(\lambda, \mu, -\frac{1}{2}\right)$ from the plane $8x + y + 4z + 2 = 0$ is:
