Consider the system of equations in $x, y$ and $z$:
$12x + by + cz = 0$
$ax + 24y + cz = 0$
$ax + by + 36z = 0$
(where $a, b, c$ are real numbers,$a \ne 12, b \ne 24, c \ne 36$).
If the system of equations has a non-trivial solution $(z \ne 0)$,then the value of $\frac{1}{a - 12} + \frac{2}{b - 24} + \frac{3}{c - 36}$ is:

  • A
    $-\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $-\frac{1}{12}$
  • C
    $-\frac{1}{6}$
  • D
    $-\frac{1}{4}$
