Given.A is a 3 x 3 matrix whose columns are linearly dependent.
⇒ Rank (A) ≤ 2
Let
Clearly columns of A are linearly dependent
Let
Also Ax = b does not have any solution
⇒ Statement (II) is false
Now, let
Since columns of A are linearly dependent.
⇒ (c1, c2, c3) = a(a1, a2, a3) + b(b1, b2, b3)
⇒ (c1, c2, c3) =(aa1+bb1, aa2+bb2, aa3+bb3)
Let v be any vector which is a linear combination of column of A ie.
v = α(a1, a2, a3) + β(b1, b2, b3) + r(c1, c2, c3)
= (α + ra)(a1, a2, a3) + (β + rb)(b1, b2, b3)
⇒ v lies in the same plane
⇒ Statement (I) is true.
