If the system of linear equations
x−2y+kz=1x - 2y + kz = 1
2x+y+z=22x + y + z = 2
3x−y−kz=33x - y - kz = 3
has a solution \left(x, y, z\right), z \ne 0,then(x,y)then \left(x, y\right) lies on the straight line whose equation is:

Options

  1. A4x−3y−4=04x - 3y - 4 = 0
  2. B3x−4y−4=03x - 4y - 4 = 0
  3. C3x−4y−1=03x - 4y - 1 = 0
  4. D4x−3y−1=04x - 3y - 1 = 0

Correct answer

A. 4x−3y−4=04x - 3y - 4 = 0

Step-by-step solution

x−2y+kz=1x - 2y + kz = 1 .........(1)
2x+y+z=22x + y + z = 2 .........(2)
3x−y−kz=33x - y - kz = 3 ........(3)

Hence,

\left[{1−2k2113−1−k\begin{cases}1 & - 2 & k \\ 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & - 1 & - k\end{cases}\right]\left[xyz\begin{array}{ll}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right] = \left[123\begin{array}{ll}1 \\ 2 \\ 3\end{array}\right]</p><p>For infinite solution,</p><p>\left|\begin{cases}1 & - 2 & k \\ 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & - 1 & - k\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒(−k+1)+2(−2k−3)+k(−2−3)=0⇒ \left(- k + 1\right) + 2\left(- 2k - 3\right) + k\left(- 2 - 3\right) = 0

⇒k=−12⇒ k = - \dfrac{1}{2}

Put this value in the equation \left(1\right),weget</p><p>, we get</p><p>2x - 4y - z = 2 . . . . \left(4\right)</p><p>Addingtheequation(4) and (2)</p><p>Adding the equation \left(4\right) \text{ and } \left(2\right), we get

4x−3y=44x - 3y = 4

Hence, the equation of straight line is 4x−3y−4=04x - 3y - 4 = 0
