The correct answer is: 4

Given,

System of linear equations,

7x+11y+αz=13
5x+4y+7z=β
175x+194y+57z=361

Now we know that, for infinite solution D=D1=D2=D3=0

Now solving D=0 we get,

 711α54717519457=0

Now applying operation R3R3-25R1 we get,

711α5470-8157-25α=0

81(49-5α)+(57-25α)(-27)=0

270α=-2430α=-9

And now solving D1=0 we get,

1311-9β4736119457=0

134×57-7×194-β11×57+9×194+36111×7+9×4=0

13-1130-β2373+361113=0

13-10-β21+361=0

21β=231

β=11

α+β+2=4
