If the system of equations $x + y+  z = 5$ ; $x + 2y + 3z = 9$ ; $x + 3y + \alpha z = \beta $ has infinitely many solutions, then $\beta  - \alpha $ equals

The system of equations $\lambda x + y + z = 0,$ $ - x + \lambda y + z = 0,$ $ - x - y + \lambda z = 0$, will have a non zero solution if real values of $\lambda $ are given by

If the system of linear equations $x - 2y + kz = 1$ ; $2x + y + z = 2$ ;  $3x - y - kz = 3$ Has a solution $(x, y, z) \ne 0$, then $(x, y)$ lies on the straight line whose equation is
