MCQ
The system $kx - y = 2$ and $6x - 2y = 3$ has a unique solution only when:
  • A
    $\text{k}=-6,$
  • B
    $\text{k}\neq-6$
  • C
    $\text{k}=0$
  • $\text{k}\neq3$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\text{k}\neq3$

$kx - y = 2$ and $6x - 2y = 3$
We know that,
the system of linear equations $a_1x + b_1x + c_1 = 0, a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$
has a unique solution if $\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}\neq\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}.$
So, $\frac{\text{k}}{6}\neq\frac{-1}{-2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{k}\neq3.$
