The value of $\lambda$ for which the lines $3\text{x} + 4\text{y} = 5, 5\text{x} + 4\text{y} =4$ and $\lambda\text{x} + 4\text{y} = 6$ meet at a point is:

Answer

Correct option: B.
1
It is given that the lines $3\text{x} + 4\text{y} = 5, 5\text{x} + 4\text{y} =4$ and $\lambda\text{x} + 4\text{y} = 6$ meet at a point. In other words, the given lines are concurrent.
$\begin{vmatrix}3&4&-5\\5&4&-4\\\lambda&4&-6 \end{vmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow3(-24+16)-4(-30+4\lambda)-5(20-4\lambda)=0$
$\Rightarrow-24+120-16\lambda-100+20\lambda=0$
$\Rightarrow4\lambda=4$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=1$
