Question

For what value of k, the pair of linear equations $3 x + k y = 9$ and $6 x + 4 y = 18$ has infinitely many solutions?

Options:

A . -5

B . 6

C . 1

D . 2

Answer: Option D
:
D

Given equations gives infinitely many solutions if,
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
The given linear equations are:
$3 x + k y = 9; 6 x + 4 y = 18.$
$\Rightarrow a_{1} = 3, b_{1} = k, c_{1} = - 9$ and $a_{2} = 6, b_{2} = 4, c_{2} = - 18$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{6} = \frac{k}{4} = \frac{- 9}{- 18}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} = \frac{k}{4}$
$\Rightarrow k = 2$
