Detailed Solution & Explanation

Given equation:
3x22kx+5=03x^2 - 2kx + 5 = 0
Since x=2\displaystyle x = 2 is a solution, it must satisfy the equation. Substitute x=2\displaystyle x = 2 into the equation:
3(2)22k(2)+5=03(2)^2 - 2k(2) + 5 = 0
3(4)4k+5=03(4) - 4k + 5 = 0
124k+5=012 - 4k + 5 = 0
174k=017 - 4k = 0
4k=17    k=1744k = 17 \implies k = \frac{17}{4}
This corresponds to Option a.

**Option a**
