If $\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{kx}+3}+\frac{3}{3 \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{k}}=\frac{12 \mathrm{x}+5}{(\mathrm{kx}+3)(3 \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{k})} \forall \mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}$
$-\left\{\frac{\{3\}}{\mathrm{k}}, \frac{\mathrm{k}}{3}\right\}$, then both the roots of the equation $\mathrm{kx}^2-7 \mathrm{x}+3=0$ are

The correct answer is: Rational numbers
Given,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{k}{(k x+3)}+\frac{3}{(3 x-k)}=\frac{12 x+5}{(k x+3)(3 x-k)} \\
& \Rightarrow k(3 x-k)+3(k x+3)=12 x+5 \\
& \Rightarrow 6 x k-k^2+9=12 x+5
\end{aligned}
$$

Comparing both side, we get
$$
\Rightarrow 6 k=12 \Rightarrow k=2
$$

Hence, $k x^2-7 x+3=0$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow & 2 x^2-7 x+3=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad & 2 x^2-6 x-x+3=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad & 2 x(x-3)-1(x-3)=0 \\
& (2 x-1)(x-3)=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad & x=\frac{1}{2}, 3
\end{aligned}
$$
Hence roots are rational numbers.
