    For what value of k does the system of equations \[x+2y=8\] and \[\text{4x}+\text{ky}+\text{7}=0\] have no solution?

    A) \[k=8\]

    B) \[k=\frac{-7}{8}\]

    C) \[k=-56\]

    D) \[k\ne -8\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] The given pair of linear equation is
    \[x+2y-8=0\]and \[4x+ky+7=0.\]
    Here, \[{{a}_{1}}=1,\,{{b}_{1}}=2,\,{{c}_{1}}=-8,\,{{a}_{2}}=4,\,{{b}_{2}}=k,{{c}_{2}}=7\]
    Since, the system of equations have no solution
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{k}\ne \frac{-8}{7}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,k=8\]    and  \[k\ne \frac{2\times 7}{-8}=\frac{-7}{4}\]
