For what value of k, system of equations 5x + 2y = k, 10x + 4y = 3 has infinitely many solutions?

a

3

b

32-\frac{3}{2}

c

32\frac{3}{2}

d

12\frac{1}{2}

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

The system of equations a1x+b1y+c1=0a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0, a2x+b2y+c2=0a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0 will have infinite solutions if

a1a2=b1b2=c1c2\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}

510=24=k3\Rightarrow \frac{5}{10}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{-k}{-3}

12=k3k=32\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{k}{3} \Rightarrow k=\frac{3}{2}
