Find kk from ∑P=1\sum P=1, then add the probabilities for X=2,3,4X=2,3,4.

Using ∑P(X=xi)=1\sum P(X=x_i)=1 to complete a probability distribution is a CBSE/NCERT Class 12 probability skill.

Since all probabilities sum to 11:

k+2k+3k+4k+5k=15k=1⇒k=115.k+2k+3k+4k+5k = 15k = 1 \Rightarrow k = \frac{1}{15}.

Then …
