The value of λ\lambda, for which the lines 3x−4y=13,8x−11y=333 x-4 y=13,8 x-11 y=33 and 2x−3y+λ=02 x-3 y+\lambda=0 are concurrent is

Options

  1. A-1
  2. B-7
  3. C17\frac{1}{7}
  4. 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. \left|3−4−138−11−332−3λ\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -4 & -13 \\ 8 & -11 & -33 \\ 2 & -3 & \lambda\end{array}\right|=0\Rightarrow 3(-11 \lambda-99)+4(8 \lambda+66)-13(-24+22)=0\Rightarrow-33 \lambda-297+32 \lambda+264+312-286=0\Rightarrow-\lambda-583+576=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=-7
