  1. A \(6 x^2+13 x+6=0\)
  2. B \(12 x^2-25 x+12=0\)
  3. C \(6 x^2-13 x+6=0\)
  4. D \(2 x^2-5 x+2=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6 x^2-13 x+6=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|\begin{array}{lll}2 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & k & 2 \\ 4 & 1 & 5\end{array}\right|=0\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 2(5 k-2)-3 \times(-3)+4(1-4 k)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow k=\frac{3}{2} \end{aligned}\) Required quadratic equation…
