Let the linear transformation \(T:\mathbb{R}^{2}\to\mathbb{R}^{2}\) be represented by the matrix \(B=\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{pmatrix}\). It satisfies \(B\begin{pmatrix}1\\2\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}5\\1\end{pmatrix}\) and \(B\begin{pmatrix}3\\-1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}k\\4\end{pmatrix}\). If additionally \(\det B =2\), determine the value of \(k\) and the trace of \(B\).

Answer Options

A. k = 22 and the trace is \\(\\frac{56}{7}\\).
B. k = 28 and the trace is \\(\\frac{68}{7}\\).
C. k = 40 and the trace is \\(\\frac{80}{7}\\).
Correct Answer D. k = 34 and the trace is \(\frac{72}{7}\).
