hard

Statement $1$ : If the system of equations $x + ky + 3z = 0, 3x+ ky - 2z = 0, 2x + 3y - 4z = 0$ has a nontrivial solution, then the value of $k$ is $\frac{31}{2}$

Statement $2$ : A system of three homogeneous equations in three variables has a non trivial solution if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero.

A

Statement $1$ is false, Statement $2$ is true.

B

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true,Statement $2$ is a correct explanation for Statement $1$

C

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true,Statement $2$ is not a correct explanation for Statement $1$ .

D

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false

Solution

Given system of equation 

$x + ky + 3z = 0$

$3x + ky – 2z = 0$

$2x + 3y – 4z = 0$

Since, system has non-trivial solution 

$\therefore \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&k&3\\
3&k&{ – 2}\\
2&3&{ – 4}
\end{array}} \right| = 0$

$ \Rightarrow 1\left( { – 4k + 6} \right) – k\left( { – 12 + 4} \right) + 3\left( {9 – 2k} \right) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow 4k + 33 – 6k = 0 \Rightarrow k = \frac{{33}}{2}$

Hence, statement – $1$ is false.

Statement – $2$ is the property.

It is a true statement .
