The system of equations  $-k x+3 y-14 z=25$  $-15 x+4 y-k z=3$  $-4 x+y+3 z=4$  is consistent for all $k$ in the set

A

$R$

B

$R -\{-11,13\}$

C

$R -\{13\}$

D

$R -\{-11,11\}$

(JEE MAIN-2022)

Solution

$\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}- k & 3 & -14 \\ -15 & 4 & – k \\ -4 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right|=121- k ^{2}$ 

$\Delta \neq 0 \quad k \in R -\{11,-11\} \quad$ (Unique sol.)

If $k =11$

$\Delta_{2}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}-11 & 3 & 25 \\ -15 & 4 & 3 \\ -4 & 1 & 4\end{array}\right| \neq 0$

$No \,solution $

If $k =-11$

$\Delta_{z}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}11 & 3 & 25 \\ -15 & 4 & 3 \\ -4 & 1 & 4\end{array}\right| \neq 0$

$No \, solution $
