Find the value of $k$ for which the system of equations$.2x+3y=5;\ 4x+ky=10$ has an infinite number of solutions.
Given: The system of equations $2x+3y=5;\ 4x+ky=10$ has an infinite number of solutions.
To do: To find the value of $k$.
Solution:
Given equations are:
$2x+3y=5\ ....\ ( i)$
$4x+ky=10\ ...\ ( ii)$
Here, $a_1=2,\ b_1=3,\ c_1=5$
$a_2=4,\ b_2=k,\ c_2=10$
For infinitely many solution:
$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{k}=\frac{5}{10}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{k}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow k=6$
Thus, for $k=6$, the given system of equations have infinitely many solutions.
