Let $S$ be the set of all real values of $k$ for which the system oflinear equations $x +y + z = 2$ ; $2x +y - z = 3$ ; $3x + 2y + kz = 4$ has a unique solution. Then $S$ is
A
an empty set
B
equal to $R- \{0\}$
C
equal to $\{0\}$
D
equal to $R$

Solution
The system of linear equations is:
$x+y+z=2$
$2x+y-z=3$
$3x+2y+kz=4$
As, system as unique solution.
So, $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&1&1\\
2&1&{ – 1}\\
3&2&k
\end{array} \ne 0$
$ \Rightarrow k + 2 – \left( {2k + 3} \right) + 1 \ne 0$
$ \Rightarrow k \ne 0$
Hence, $k \in R – \left\{ 0 \right\} \equiv S$
