The product of the roots = \(e/a\) = 130/2 = 65 = 13*5 = Product of 2 co primes.
Thus one of the roots should be 5 from the given options IMO

If \(2x^{5}−14x^{4}+31x^{3}−64x^{2}+19x+130=0\), then which of the following could be the value of x ?
\(2x^{5}−14x^{4}+31x^{3}−64x^{2}+19x+130=\)
\((2x^{5}- 10x^{4}) -(4x^{4}- 20x^{3}) +(11x^{3} - 55x^{2}) -(9x^{2} -45x) -(26x -5*26)= \)
\(2x^{4}( x-5) -4x^{3}(x-5)+ 11x^{2}(x-5 ) -9x(x-5) -26(x-5 )=\)
\(( x-5)*(2x^{4}- 4x^{3}+ 11x^{2}-9x -26 ) =0\)
--> \(x\) could be \(5\).
