  2. B 1
  3. C 3
  4. D 5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The system of equations is: \(kx + y + 2z = 0\) \(x - ky - 3z = 0\) \(2x + y + kz = 0\) Coefficient matrix: \(A = \begin{pmatrix} k & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & -k & -3 \\ 2 & 1 & k \end{pmatrix}\) For a non-zero solution, \(\det(A) = 0\).…
