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 $
