Correct answer: C

  1. For a homogeneous system to have a non-zero solution, the determinant of its coefficient matrix must be zero.

    The system is: x+ky+3z=0x+ky+3z=0x+ky+3z=0 3x+ky−2z=03x+ky-2z=03x+ky−2z=0 2x+4y−3z=02x+4y-3z=02x+4y−3z=0

    So the coefficient matrix is A=(1k33k−224−3)A=\begin{pmatrix}1&k&3\\3&k&-2\\2&4&-3\end{pmatrix}A=​132​kk4​3−2−3​​

  2. Set det⁡(A)=0\det(A)=0det(A)=0.

    det⁡(1k33k−224−3)=0\det\begin{pmatrix}1&k&3\\3&k&-2\\2&4&-3\end{pmatrix}=0det​132​kk4​3−2−3​​=0

    Expanding along the first row: =1∣k−24−3∣−k∣3−22−3∣+3∣3k24∣=1\begin{vmatrix}k&-2\\4&-3\end{vmatrix}-k\begin{vmatrix}3&-2\\2&-3\end{vmatrix}+3\begin{vmatrix}3&k\\2&4\end{vmatrix}=1​k4​−2−3​​−k​32​−2−3​​+3​32​k4​​

    =1(k⋅(−3)−(−2)⋅4)−k(3⋅(−3)−(−2)⋅2)+3(3⋅4−2k)=1(k\cdot(-3)-(-2)\cdot4)-k(3\cdot(-3)-(-2)\cdot2)+3(3\cdot4-2k)=1(k⋅(−3)−(−2)⋅4)−k(3⋅(−3)−(−2)⋅2)+3(3⋅4−2k)

    =(−3k+8)−k(−9+4)+3(12−2k)=(-3k+8)-k(-9+4)+3(12-2k)=(−3k+8)−k(−9+4)+3(12−2k)

    =(−3k+8)+5k+36−6k=(-3k+8)+5k+36-6k=(−3k+8)+5k+36−6k

    =44−4k=44-4k=44−4k

    Therefore, 44−4k=0  ⟹  k=1144-4k=0 \implies k=1144−4k=0⟹k=11

  3. Substitute k=11k=11k=11 into the system: x+11y+3z=0...(1)x+11y+3z=0 \quad ...(1)x+11y+3z=0...(1) 3x+11y−2z=0...(2)3x+11y-2z=0 \quad ...(2)3x+11y−2z=0...(2) 2x+4y−3z=0...(3)2x+4y-3z=0 \quad ...(3)2x+4y−3z=0...(3)

  4. Eliminate variables to find the ratio xzy2\dfrac{xz}{y^2}y2xz​.

    Subtract (1) from (2): 2x−5z=0  ⟹  2x=5z  ⟹  x=5z22x-5z=0 \implies 2x=5z \implies x=\frac{5z}{2}2x−5z=0⟹2x=5z⟹x=25z​

    Put this in (3): 2(5z2)+4y−3z=02\left(\frac{5z}{2}\right)+4y-3z=02(25z​)+4y−3z=0 5z+4y−3z=05z+4y-3z=05z+4y−3z=0 2z+4y=02z+4y=02z+4y=0 z=−2yz=-2yz=−2y

    Then x=5z2=5(−2y)2=−5yx=\frac{5z}{2}=\frac{5(-2y)}{2}=-5yx=25z​=25(−2y)​=−5y

  5. Now compute: xzy2=(−5y)(−2y)y2=10y2y2=10\frac{xz}{y^2}=\frac{(-5y)(-2y)}{y^2}=\frac{10y^2}{y^2}=10y2xz​=y2(−5y)(−2y)​=y210y2​=10

  6. Hence the correct option is: 10\boxed{10}10​ which is Option C.
