Find the value of k for which each of the following systems of equations has no solution:

kx + 3y = 3,12x + ky = 6.

Given: kx + 3y = 3 – eq 1


 


12x + ky = 6 – eq 2


 


Here,


 


a1 = k, b1 = 3, c1 = - 3


 


a2 = 12, b2 = k, c2 = - 6


 


Here,


 


Given that system of equations has no solution


 


=


 


=


 


Here,


 


=


 


k×k = 3×12


 


k2 = √36


 


K = ±6 eq 3


 


Also,


 



 


3× - 6 ≠ - 3× k


 


- 18 ≠ - 3k


 


3k≠18


 


K≠6 eq 4


 


From eq 3 and eq 4 we can conclude


 


K = 6


 


k = - 6
