The system of equations \(x+k y=0\) \(3 x+5 y=0\) has infinitely many solutions, then \(k\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{3}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{3}\)
  3. C \(-\frac{5}{3}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{3}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{5}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \begin{vmatrix} 1 & k \\ 3 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \) \( (1)(5) - (k)(3) = 0 \) \( 5 - 3k = 0 \) \( 3k = 5 \) \( k = \frac{5}{3} \)
