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