Let $N$ denote the number that turns up when a fair die is rolled. If the probability that the system of equations

$x+y+z=1$  ;  $2 x+N y+2 z=2$  ;  $3 x+3 y+N z=3$

has unique solution is $\frac{k}{6}$, then the sum of value of $k$ and all possible values of $N$ is

A

$18$

B

$19$

C

$20$

D

$21$

Solution

$x+y+z=1$

$2 x+N y+2 z=2$

$3 x+3 y+N z=3$

$\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & 1 \\2 & N & 2 \\3 & 3 & N\end{array}\right| =( N -2)( N -3)$For unique solution $\Delta \neq 0$

So $N \neq 2,3$

$\Rightarrow P ($ system has unique solution $)=\frac{4}{6}$

So $k =4$

Therefore sum $=4+1+4+5+6=20$
