Yes, all k's in A are potentially usable.

The notation is confusing since you are using a for an element of B,
and k for an element of A. I would change the letters for clarity:

X = { b /in B | b = 2a, a /in A}

Assuming division by 2 makes sense, here's another way to express X:

X = {b /in B | b/2 /in A}
