If the lines (3 x+y-2=0, p x+2 y-3=0 ) and (2 x-y-3=0 ) are concurrent, then (p= )
Options
- A-5
- B5
- C3
- D-3
Correct answer
B. 5
Step-by-step solution
It is given that lines (3 x+y-2=0, p x+2 y-3=0 ) and (2 x-y-3=0 ) are concurrent, so ( array lll | array rrr 3 & 1 & -2 p & 2 & -3 2 & -1 & -3 array |=0 3(-6-3)-1(-3 p+6)-2(-p-4)=0 -27+3 p-6+2 p+8=0 5 p-25=0 p=5 array ) Hence, option (b) is correct.
