    The system of linear equations \[x+y+z=2\], \[2x+y-z=3,\] \[3x+2y+kz=4\]has a unique solution if  [EAMCET 1994; DCE 2000]

    A) \[k\ne 0\]

    B) \[-1<k<1\]

    C) \[-2<k<2\]

    D) \[k=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The given system of equations has a unique solution if \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    2 & 1 & -1  \\    3 & 2 & k  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\ne 0\Rightarrow k\ne 0\].
