The number of values of k for which the linear equations`4x""+""k y""+""2z""=""0``k x""+""4y""+""z""=""0``2x""+""2y""+""z""=""0`posses a non-zero solution is :(1) 3 (2) 2 (3) 1 (4) zeroA. zeroB. 3C. 2D. 1 |
Answer» Correct Answer - 3 For non-trivial solution of the given system of linear equations `|{:(4,,k,,2),(k,,4,,1),(2,,2,,1):}|=0` `rArr 8+ k (2-k) + 2 (2k -8) =0` `rArr -k^(2) +6k -8 =0` `rArr k^(2) -6k +8=0` `rArr k=2,4` Clearly there exists two values of k . |
