(B) The given quadratic equation is $x^{2}-10x+(2k-1)=0$.Comparing this with the standard form $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$,we get $a=1$,$b=-10$,and $c=2k-1$.The discriminant $D$ is given by the formula $D=b^{2}-4ac$.Given $D=40$,we substitute the values:$40 = (-10)^{2} - 4(1)(2k-1)$$40 = 100 - 4(2k-1)$$40 = 100 - 8k + 4$$40 = 104 - 8k$$8k = 104 - 40$$8k = 64$$k = 8$.
