KCET2011MathematicsStraight Lines
If lines represented by x+3 y-6=0 , 2 x+y-4=0 and k x-3 y+1=0 are concurrent, then the value of k is
Options
- A6 19
- B19 6
- C- 19 6
- D- 6 19
Correct answer
B. 19 6
Step-by-step solution
Given lines are, aligned &x+3 y-6=0 &2 x+y-4=0 &k x-3 y+1=0 aligned these given lines will concurrent when | array rrr 1 & 3 & -6 2 & 1 & -4 k & -3 & 1 array |=0 Expand with respect to R₁ : 1(1-12)-3(2+4 k)-6(-6-k)=0 -11-6-12 k+36+6 k=0 -6 k-17+36=0 6 k=19 k= 19 6
