For what value of k will the following pair of linear equations has no solution:
3x + y = 1 and
(2k-1)x + (k-1)y = 2k + 1

I am getting k=2 as solution. Can u pls confirm if it is correct. Pls give the solution with steps.

yep its correct

a1/a2 =b1/b2 and not equal to c1/c2 then no solution

3/(2k-1)=1/(k-1)
3(k-1)=2k-1
3k-3=2k-1
k=2
