The correct answer is: 1

A=XB

a1a2=131-11kb1 b2

3a13a2=b1-b2 b1+kb2

b1-b2=3a1 1

b1+kb2=3a2 2

Given, a12+a22=23b12+b22

(1)2+(2)2

b1+b22+b1+kb22=3a12+a22

a12+a22=23b12+1+k23b22+23b1b2k-1

Given, a12+a22=23b12+23b22

On comparing we get

k2+13=23k2+1=2

k=±1 3

23(k-1)=0k=1 4

From both we get k=1
