The system of equations are

x-2y+5z=0

-2x+4y+z=0

-7x+14y+9z=0

\begin{array}{l} \Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -2 & 5 \\ -2 & 4 & 1 \\ -7 & 14 & 9 \end{array}\right|=0 \\ \text {Let } x=k \end{array}

\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & \text { Put in }(1) \&(2) \\ & \mathrm{k}-2 \mathrm{y}+5 \mathrm{z}=0 \\ &-2 \mathrm{k}+4 \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}=0 \\ & \mathrm{z}=0, \mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{k}}{2} \\ \therefore & \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{z} \text { are integer } \end{aligned} \\\Rightarrow \mathrm{k} \text{ is even integer}

\\\text{Now} x=k, y=\frac{k}{2}, z=0\\\text{ put in condition }\\15 \leq \mathrm{k}^{2}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{k}}{2}\right)^{2}+0 \leq 150\\ \begin{aligned} & 12 \leq \mathrm{k}^{2} \leq 120 \\ \Rightarrow & \mathrm{k}=\pm 4,\pm 6,\pm 8,\pm 10 \end{aligned}\\\Rightarrow$ Number of element in $\mathrm{S}=8
