    If the system of equations \[(k+1)x+8y=4k\] and \[kx+(k+3)y=3k-1\] has infinitely many solutions, then k is equal to

    A)  \[0\]               

    B)  \[1\]

    C)  \[3\]               

    D)  \[-3\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given system of equation is \[(k+1)x+8y=4k\] and \[kx+(k+3)y=3k-1.\] \[\therefore \]  For in fined many solution, \[\left| \begin{matrix}    k+1 & 8  \\    k & k+3  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] \[(k+1)\,(k+3)-8k=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{k}^{2}}+4k+3-8k=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{k}^{2}}-4k+3=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[k=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16-12}}{2(1)}\] \[=\frac{4\pm 2}{2}=3,1\] Now, \[adj\,(A)=\left[ \begin{matrix}    k+3 & -8  \\    -k & k+1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Now,  \[(adj\,A)\,B=\left[ \begin{matrix}    k+3 & -8  \\    -k & k+1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\,\,\left[ \begin{matrix}    4k  \\    3k-1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    4{{k}^{2}}+12k-24k+8  \\    -4{{k}^{2}}+3{{k}^{2}}+2k-1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    4{{k}^{2}}-12k+8  \\    -{{k}^{2}}+2k-1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] when \[k=1,\] \[(adj\,A)\,\,B=\left[ \begin{matrix}    4-12+8  \\    -1+2-1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0  \\    0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] satisfies when \[k=3,\] \[(adj\,\,A)\,\,B=\left[ \begin{matrix}    36-36+8  \\    -9+6-1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    8  \\    -4  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\ne 0\] not satisfies Hence,  \[k=1\] is the required solution.
