Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(k x+y+z=1\) \(x+k y+z=k\) \(x+y+z k=k^{2}\) \(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} K & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & K & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & K \end{array}\right|= K \left( K ^{2}-1\right)-1( K -1)+1(1- K )\) \(= K ^{3}- K - K +1+1- K\) \(= K ^{3}-3 K +2\) \(=( K -1)^{2}( K +2)\) For \(K =1\)…
