Answer :
We have,
2x + 3y = 7
⇒ 2x + 3y – 7 = 0 ….. (1)
(k+1)x + (2k-1)y = 4k + 1
⇒ (k +1)x + (2k – 1)y – (4k+1) = 0 ….. (2)
For the equations of the form:
a1x+ b1 y + c1 = 0
a2 x+ b2y + c2 = 0
The condition for having infinitely many solutions is:
For the equations (1) and (2),
Now,
2(2k-1) = 3(k+1)
⇒ 4k – 2 = 3k + 3
⇒ k = 5
or
2(4k+1) = 7(k+1)
⇒ 8k + 2 = 7k + 7
⇒ k = 5
Hence, the value k =5 will give infinitely many solutions for the given set of equations.
