Explanation

The correct answer is $17$ . If one value is multiplied by a number, then the other value must be multiplied by the same number in order to maintain the same ratio. It’s given that $j$ is multiplied by $17$ . Therefore, in order to maintain the same ratio, $k$ must also be multiplied by $17$ .
