    [SSC (CGL) 2011]

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]  

    B) \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) 2                                 

    D) \[-\,2\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

        
    \[(k-1)x+y-2=0\]
    and \[(2-k)\,x-3y+1=0\]
                \[{{m}_{1}}=1-k\]
    and       \[{{m}_{2}}=\frac{(2-k)}{3}\]     
    Since, the two times are parallel.
                \[\therefore \]      \[{{m}_{1}}={{m}_{2}}\]
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1-k=\frac{2-k}{3}\]
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3-3k=2-k\]
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[-\,2k=-1\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[k=\frac{1}{2}\]
