Detailed Solution

Given system of linear equations 

2x+3yz=0x+ky2z=0

 And 2xy+z=0 has a non-trivial solution (x,y,z)

Δ=02311k2211=02(k2)3(1+4)1(12k)=02K415+1+2K=0 4K=18K=92

So, system of linear equations is 

2x+3yz=0-----12x+9y4z=0----2

 And 2xy+z=0-----3

From Eqs. (i) and (ii) , we get 

6y3z=0,yz=12

From Eqs. (i) and (iii), we get 

4x+2y=0xy=12

so,xz=xy×yz=14zx=4                      yz=12   and  xy=12

xy+yz+zx+k=12+124+92=12
