(B) The condition for two lines $\frac{x - x_1}{a_1} = \frac{y - y_1}{b_1} = \frac{z - z_1}{c_1}$ and $\frac{x - x_2}{a_2} = \frac{y - y_2}{b_2} = \frac{z - z_2}{c_2}$ to be coplanar is given by the determinant:$\begin{vmatrix} x_2 - x_1 & y_2 - y_1 & z_2 - z_1 \ a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \ a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \end{vmatrix} = 0$Here,$(x_1, y_1, z_1) = (2, 3, 4)$ and $(a_1, b_1, c_1) = (1, 1, -k)$.Also,$(x_2, y_2, z_2) = (1, 4, 5)$ and $(a_2, b_2, c_2) = (k, 2, 1)$.Substituting these values into the determinant:$\begin{vmatrix} 1 - 2 & 4 - 3 & 5 - 4 \ 1 & 1 & -k \ k & 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0$$\begin{vmatrix} -1 & 1 & 1 \ 1 & 1 & -k \ k & 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0$Expanding along the first row:$-1(1 - (-2k)) - 1(1 - (-k^2)) + 1(2 - k) = 0$$-1(1 + 2k) - 1(1 + k^2) + 2 - k = 0$$-1 - 2k - 1 - k^2 + 2 - k = 0$$-k^2 - 3k = 0$$k^2 + 3k = 0$$k(k + 3) = 0$Therefore,$k = 0$ or $k = -3$.

If the lines $\frac{x - 2}{1} = \frac{y - 3}{1} = \frac{z - 4}{-k}$ and $\frac{x - 1}{k} = \frac{y - 4}{2} = \frac{z - 5}{1}$ are coplanar,then $k = . . . . .$
