The correct answer is: 3512

Given,

x=α,y=β,z=γ be the unique solution of the system of simultaneous linear equations

2x+3y-2z+4=0 .....1

3x-4y+3z+5=0 .....2

kx-2y+z+3=0 .......3

Now solving the above equation with operation 1+2×3 & 2-3×3 we get,

2+2kx-y=-10 ........4

3-3kx+2y=4 .....5

Now eliminating y by operation 2×4+5 we get,

4+4k+3-3kx=-20+4

x=-16k+7

Now given  x=α=-2,

So -2=-16k+7

2k+14=16

2k=2

Then k=1

Now solving options we get,

3512=3×2-5×1=1
