Solution
It is given that the lines $2 x+y=1,3 x+2 y=2$ and $k x+3 y=3$ are concurrent, so
$
\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 1 & -1 \\
3 & 2 & -2 \\
k & 3 & -3
\end{array}\right|=0
$
$\because$ The elements of columns $C_2$ and $C_3$ are proportional to each other, so for any value of $k$ given lines are concurrent
