    If the lines given by \[\text{3x}+\text{2ky}=\text{2}\] and \[\text{2x}+\text{5y}+\text{1}=0\] are parallel, then the value of k is:                                                                                                                     (NCERT EXEMPLAR)

    A) \[-\frac{5}{4}\]

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

    C) \[\frac{15}{4}\]

    D) \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Given equations of lines are
    \[3x+2ky-2=0\]
    and      \[2x+5y+1=0\]
    Here,   \[{{a}_{1}}=3,\,{{b}_{1}}=2k,\,{{c}_{1}}=-2\]
    and   \[{{a}_{2}}=2,\,{{b}_{2}}=5,\,{{c}_{2}}=1\]
    Since, the given lines are parallel               
    \[\therefore \,\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}=\frac{2k}{5}\Rightarrow k=\frac{15}{4}\]
