The correct answer is:
6
For concurrency $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4 & 3 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 5 \\ k & 5 & -3\end{array}\right|=0$
$\Rightarrow 4(3-25)+3(5 k+3)-1(5+k)=0$
$\Rightarrow-88+15 k+9-5-k=0$
$\Rightarrow-84+14 k=0$
$\Rightarrow k=6$
$\Rightarrow 4(3-25)+3(5 k+3)-1(5+k)=0$
$\Rightarrow-88+15 k+9-5-k=0$
$\Rightarrow-84+14 k=0$
$\Rightarrow k=6$
