Let S1{S}_{1}S1​ and S2{S}_{2}S2​ be respectively the sets of all a∈R−0a\in R-{0}a∈R−0 for which the system of linear equations

ax+2ay−3az=1ax+2ay-3az=1ax+2ay−3az=1

(2a+1)x+(2a+3)y+(a+1)z=2(2a+1)x+(2a+3)y+(a+1)z=2(2a+1)x+(2a+3)y+(a+1)z=2

(3a+5)x+(a+5)y+(a+2)z=3(3a+5)x+(a+5)y+(a+2)z=3(3a+5)x+(a+5)y+(a+2)z=3

has unique solution and infinitely many solutions. Then
