    The value of 'k' for which the system of equations \[kx-5y=2;\text{ }6x+2y=7\]has no solution is

    A) \[-15\]

    B) \[\frac{-5}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{2}{7}\]

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, pair of linear equations is
    \[kx-5y-2=0\]and \[6x+2y-7=0\]
    Here, \[{{a}_{1}}=k,\,{{b}_{1}}=-5,\,{{c}_{1}}=-2\]
    and \[{{a}_{2}}=6,\,{{b}_{2}}=2,\,{{c}_{2}}=-7\]
    On comparing with standard form of pair of linear equations we get,
    For no solution,
    \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \,\frac{k}{6}=\frac{-5}{2}\ne \frac{-2}{-7}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{k}{6}=-\frac{5}{2}\,\,\Rightarrow k=-15\]
