Question

Find the value of k if (1,3k) lies on 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 the given equation, then it must satisfy the equation.
Putting the value of x and y in the given equation:
$\Rightarrow k\left(1\right)+4\left(3k\right)=26$
$\Rightarrow 13k=26$
$\Rightarrow k=2$
Thus, the value of k is 2.
