This problem asks for the conditions on \( a, b \in \mathbb{R} \) for the given system of linear equations to have:

1. **No solution (keine Lösung)**  
2. **Exactly one solution (genau eine Lösung)**  
3. **Infinitely many solutions (unendlich viele Lösungen)**  

We solve this by examining the augmented matrix and determining when the system is consistent, inconsistent, or has free variables. Let’s analyze the problem step by step.

---

### Matrix Setup:
The system is represented by the augmented matrix:

\[
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & -3 & 0 & \big| & 0 \\
2 & -5 & 1 & \big| & 2 \\
0 & -1 & a & \big| & b
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

Using **Gaussian elimination**, we examine the determinant of the coefficient matrix and any conditions that create inconsistencies.

---

### Step 1: Check the determinant of the coefficient matrix
The coefficient matrix is:

\[
\mathbf{A} =
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & -3 & 0 \\
2 & -5 & 1 \\
0 & -1 & a
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

The determinant of \( \mathbf{A} \) determines whether the system has a unique solution or infinitely many solutions. 

The determinant is computed as:

\[
\det(\mathbf{A}) = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} -5 & 1 \\ -1 & a \end{vmatrix}
- (-3) \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 0 & a \end{vmatrix}
+ 0 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -5 \\ 0 & -1 \end{vmatrix}.
\]

Simplifying each minor:

1. \( \begin{vmatrix} -5 & 1 \\ -1 & a \end{vmatrix} = (-5)(a) - (1)(-1) = -5a + 1. \)
2. \( \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 0 & a \end{vmatrix} = (2)(a) - (1)(0) = 2a. \)

Thus:

\[
\det(\mathbf{A}) = 1(-5a + 1) + 3(2a) = -5a + 1 + 6a = a + 1.
\]

---

### Step 2: Cases for \( \det(\mathbf{A}) \)
1. **If \( a + 1 \neq 0 \):**  
   The determinant is non-zero, so the system has a unique solution.

2. **If \( a + 1 = 0 \):**  
   The determinant is zero, so the system may have infinitely many solutions or no solutions. This depends on the consistency of the augmented matrix.

---

### Step 3: Consistency when \( \det(\mathbf{A}) = 0 \)
If \( a = -1 \), the coefficient matrix becomes rank-deficient. Now we analyze the augmented matrix:

\[
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & -3 & 0 & \big| & 0 \\
2 & -5 & 1 & \big| & 2 \\
0 & -1 & -1 & \big| & b
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

Perform Gaussian elimination to check for consistency.

---

### Step 4: Final Results
1. **No solution (inconsistent):** This occurs if \( a = -1 \) and the last row results in a contradiction (e.g., \( 0 = c \neq b \)).  
2. **Exactly one solution:** This occurs if \( a + 1 \neq 0 \).  
3. **Infinitely many solutions:** This occurs if \( a = -1 \) and the system remains consistent.
