Question

Find the value of k, if (1, 3k) lies on the line represented by the equation $kx+4y=26$.

• A. 1
• B. 0
• C. 2
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C

2

If the point (1, 3k) lies on a line represented by the given equation, then it must satisfy the equation.

On substituting x = 1 and y = 3k in the given equation, we get

$k\left(1\right)+4\left(3k\right)=26$

$\Rightarrow 13k=26$

$\Rightarrow k=2$

Thus, the value of k is 2.
