The value of k∈R,k \in R, for which the following system of linear equations

3x−y+4z=33x - y + 4z = 3

x+2y−3z=−2x + 2y - 3z = - 2

6x+5y+kz=−36x + 5y + kz = - 3

has infinitely many solutions, is:

Options

  1. A33
  2. B−5- 5
  3. C55
  4. D−3- 3

Correct answer

B. −5- 5

Step-by-step solution

We have,

3x−y+4z=33x - y + 4z = 3

x+2y−3z=−2x + 2y - 3z = - 2

6x+5y+kz=−36x + 5y + kz = - 3

For infinitely many solutions,

\left|A\right| = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left|{3−1412−365k\begin{cases}3 & - 1 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & - 3 \\ 6 & 5 & k\end{cases}\right| = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ 3 ( 2k + 15 ) + 1\left(k + 18\right) + 4\left(5 - 12\right) = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ 3 ( 2k + 15 ) + k + 18 - 28 = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ 7k + 35 = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ k = - 5
