Question

Find the value of k such that the equations 2x+3y+11=0 and 6x+ky+33=0 represent coincident lines.

A.

5

B.

12

C.

9

D.

6

Correct option is C

Given:

Two equations:

2x + 3y + 11 =0

6x + k y+ 33=0

Concept Used:

For two lines to be coincident, their coefficients must be proportional:

a1a2=b1b2=c1c2\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}​​

Solution:

26=3k=1133\frac{2}{6} = \frac{3}{k} = \frac{11}{33}​​

13=13(True, so correct proportion)\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \quad \text{(True, so correct proportion)}​​

3k=13\frac{3}{k} = \frac{1}{3}​​

k=9

Option (C) is right.
