Correct Answer :

Option D

1, 10

1, 10

Solution :

The correct option is 1, 10.

To find the possible values of k, we start with the given equation:

88 ÷ 8 × k 3 × 3 6 2 7 × 5 + k 2 = 1

Let's simplify the numerator and the denominator separately using the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS).

Step 1: Simplify the Numerator
The numerator is 88÷8×k3×3.
First, perform the division:
88÷8=11
Now substitute this back and perform the multiplications:
11×k=11k
3×3=9
So, the simplified numerator is:
11k9

Step 2: Simplify the Denominator
The denominator is 627×5+k2.
First, calculate the exponent:
62=36
Next, perform the multiplication:
7×5=35
Now substitute these values back into the expression:
3635+k2
Combine the constant terms:
1+k2

Step 3: Solve the Equation
Substitute the simplified numerator and denominator back into the main equation:
11 k 9 1 + k 2 = 1

Multiply both sides by 1+k2 to eliminate the fraction:
11k9=1+k2

Rearrange the terms to form a standard quadratic equation (ak2+bk+c=0):
k211k+1+9=0
k211k+10=0

Step 4: Factor the Quadratic Equation
We need to find two numbers that multiply to 10 and add up to 11. These numbers are 1 and 10.
Rewrite the quadratic equation by factoring:
(k1)(k10)=0

Set each factor to zero to find the roots:
k1=0k=1
k10=0k=10

Thus, the possible values of k are 1 and 10.
