  • question_answer
    The value of k for which the system of linear equations \[\text{x}+\text{2y}=\text{3}\]and \[\text{5x}+\text{ky}+\text{7}=0\] is inconsistent is:                                                         (CBSE 2020)

    A) \[-14/3\]

    B) \[2/5\]

    C) \[5\]

    D) \[10\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Given, \[x+2y=3\] and \[5x+ky+7=0\]
    Here,  \[{{a}_{1}}=1,\,{{b}_{1}}=2,\,{{c}_{1}}=3\]
    and    \[{{a}_{2}}=5,\,{{b}_{2}}=k,\,{{c}_{2}}=-7\]
    Condition of inconsistency,
                \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{k}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,k=10\]
