Consider the system of equations: $x + y - az = 1$; $2x + ay + z = 1$; $ax + y - z = 2$. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    For $a \ne 1$,the system has a unique solution.
  • B
    If the system has no solution,then $a$ must be $1$.
  • C
    For $a \in \{1, \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}\}$,the system has no solution.
  • D
    For $a = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$,the system has an infinite number of solutions.
