Question:
Find the value of k for which each of the following system of equations have no solution :
$c x+2 y=3$
$12 x+c y=6$
Solution:
GIVEN:
$c x+3 y=3$
$12 x+c y=6$
To find: To determine for what value of c the system of equation has no solution
We know that the system of equations
$a_{1} x+b_{1} y=c_{1}$
$a_{2} x+b_{2} y=c_{2}$
For no solution
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
Here,
$\frac{c}{12}=\frac{3}{c} \neq \frac{3}{6}$
$\frac{c}{12}=\frac{3}{c}$
$c^{2}=12 \times 3$
$c^{2}=36$
$c=\pm 6$
