Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

The system of equations has no solution if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero.
Δ = |k 1|
|1 k 1|
|1 k|
Δ = k (k² - 1) - 1 (k - 1) + 1 (1 - k) = 0
Δ = k³ - k - k + 1 + 1 - k = 0
⇒ k³ - 3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ (k - 1)² (k + 2) = 0
∴ k = -2, 1
If k = 1 then all the equations are identical (infinite soluti
