Given equations 3x + y = 1 (2k ā 1)x + (k ā 1)y = 2k + 1 Now, Since equations are inconsistent It means that the lines are parallel š1/š2 = š1/š2 ā š1/š2 š/((šš ā š)) = š/((š ā š)) ā š/((šš + š)) Thus, š/((šš ā š)) = š/((š ā š)) 3(k ā 1) = (2k ā 1) 3k ā 3 = 2k ā 1 3k ā 2k = ā1 + 3 k = 2 So, the correct answer is (d)
