Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, the given three lines are concurrent, then \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}4 & 3 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 5 \\ k & 5 & -3\end{array}\right|=0\) \(\Rightarrow 4(3-25)-3(-3-5 k)-1(5+k)=0\) \(\Rightarrow-88+9+15 k-5-k=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 14 k=84\) \(\therefore \quad k=6\)
