Find the value of $k$ for which the following pair of linear equations will have infinitely many solutions :
$kx + 3y - (k - 3) = 0$ and $12x + ky - k = 0$
Hence, find any two solutions of the given pair of equations.

(b) For infinitely many solutions: $\frac{k}{12} = \frac{3}{k} = \frac{k - 3}{k}$
$k^2 = 36$ and $k^2 - 6k = 0$
$(k = \pm 6)$ and $(k = 6 \text{ or } 0)$
$\therefore k = 6$
For $k = 6$, equations are $6x + 3y = 3$ and $12x + 6y = 6$
any two correct solutions
