The pair of linear equations $$2x+5y=k, kx+15y=18$$ has infinitely many solutions if
The pair of linear equations $$13x + ky = k, 39x + 6y = k +4$$ has infinitely many solutions if
The pair of linear equations
$$ 13x+ky-k=0$$
$$ 39x+6y-(k+4)=0$$
Here, $$a_{1}=13,b_{1}=k,c_{1}=-k$$
$$ a_{2}=39,b_{2}=6,c_{2}=-(k+4)$$
The system has infinitely many solutions if
$$\displaystyle \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$$
$$\Rightarrow \displaystyle \frac{13}{39}=\frac{k}{6}=\frac{-k}{-(k+4)}$$
Taking,
$$ \displaystyle \frac{13}{39}=\frac{k}{6}$$
$$\Rightarrow \displaystyle \frac{1}{3}=\frac{k}{6}$$
$$\Rightarrow 3k=6$$
$$\Rightarrow k=2$$
Taking,
$$\displaystyle \frac{k}{6}=\frac{-k}{-(k+4)}$$
$$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{(k+4)}$$
$$\Rightarrow k+4=6 \Rightarrow k=2$$
Thus, $$k=2$$ is the correct answer
