The value of , for which the lines 3 x-4 y=13,8 x-11 y=33 and 2 x-3 y+ =0 are concurrent is
Options
- A-1
- B-7
- C1 7
- D9
Correct answer
B. -7
Step-by-step solution
For concurrency of 3 lines the determinant of coefficients of equations should be 0 . i.e. | array ccc 3 & -4 & -13 8 & -11 & -33 2 & -3 & array |=0 3(-11 -99)+4(8 +66)-13(-24+22)=0 -33 -297+32 +264+312-286=0 - -583+576=0 =-7
