Given polynomial: px=5x²6x+k 

If α and β  are the zeroes of a x 2 +bx+c ,  then
α+β=ba and αβ=ca 

α+β=65 and αβ=k5 -----(1)
Also, given that,

αβ= 1 5  

Squaring both sides, we get, 

αβ2=152

α2+β22αβ=125

α2+β2+2αβ2αβ2αβ=125  

α+β24αβ=125

6524k5=125 

4k5=1253625

4k5=13625  

4k5=3525

100k=175 

k=175100

k=74 
Hence, the value of k is 74
