(D) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -2 & 5 \\ -2 & 4 & 1 \\ -7 & 14 & 9\end{array}\right|=0\) Let \(\quad x=k\) \(\Rightarrow \quad\) Put in \((1)\;and\;(2)\) \(k-2 y+5 z=0\) \(-2 k+4 y+z=0\) \(z=0, y=\frac{k}{2}\) \(\therefore \quad x , y , z\) are integer…
