Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Find the roots of the equations: \(3m^2 - 2m - 65 = 0\)

= \( m^2 - 15m + 13m - 65 = 0\)

= 3m(m - 5) + 13( m - 5) = 0

( m - 5)(3m + 13) = 0 

m-5 = 0 or 3m + 13 = 0

therefore, m = 5 or \(\frac{-13}{3}\)

therefore the roots of the quadratic equation = ( 5, \(\frac{-13}{3})\)
