Suppose $a_1, a_2, \dots$ are real numbers,with $a_1 \neq 0$. If $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots$ are in $A.P.$,then:

  • A
    $A = \begin{bmatrix} a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ a_4 & a_5 & a_6 \\ a_5 & a_6 & a_7 \end{bmatrix}$ is singular.
  • B
    The system of equations $a_1x + a_2y + a_3z = 0, a_4x + a_5y + a_6z = 0, a_7x + a_8y + a_9z = 0$ has an infinite number of solutions.
  • C
    $B = \begin{bmatrix} a_1 & i a_2 \\ i a_2 & a_1 \end{bmatrix}$ is non-singular,where $i = \sqrt{-1}$.
  • D
    All of the above.
