The correct answer is: 2
Using Cramer’s rule, we get, 
Δ=2-1-1-1-121-21
Using C1=C1+C2+C3
Δ=0-1-10-120-21=0
Δ1=1-1-11-122-21=0 (as C1 and C2 are identical)
Δ2=21-1-112121
Using C1=C1-C2+C3
=01-1012021=0
Δ3=2-11-1-111-22=0 (as C2 and C3 are identical)
Therefore, infinite solutions
Now, put z=λ, we get, 
2x-y=1+λ and
-x-y=1-2λ
Solving these 2 equations, we get, 
x=λ, y=1-λ
x02-y02+1z0=λ2-λ-12+1λ=2
