We are given the differential equation:

\[
(27xy^2 + 8y^3)dx + (18x^2y + 12xy^2)dy = 0
\]

and the solution is given as \( \psi(x, y) = k \).

To solve for \( \psi(x, y) \), we will first check if the differential equation is exact. For this, consider the equation in the form:

\[
M(x, y)dx + N(x, y)dy = 0
\]
where \( M(x, y) = 27xy^2 + 8y^3 \) and \( N(x, y) = 18x^2y + 12xy^2 \).

To check if the equation is exact, we compute the partial derivatives:

\[
\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(27xy^2 + 8y^3) = 54xy + 24y^2
\]
\[
\frac{\partial N}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(18x^2y + 12xy^2) = 36xy + 12y^2
\]

Since \( \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} \), the equation is exact.

### Step 1: Find \( \psi(x, y) \)
To find \( \psi(x, y) \), we integrate \( M(x, y) = 27xy^2 + 8y^3 \) with respect to \( x \):

\[
\psi(x, y) = \int (27xy^2 + 8y^3) \, dx = \frac{27}{2}x^2y^2 + 8xy^3 + h(y)
\]

where \( h(y) \) is a function of \( y \) that acts as a constant with respect to \( x \).

### Step 2: Differentiate \( \psi(x, y) \) with respect to \( y \)
Now, differentiate \( \psi(x, y) \) with respect to \( y \) and set it equal to \( N(x, y) \):

\[
\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y} = \frac{27}{2}x^2(2y) + 8x(3y^2) + h'(y) = 27x^2y + 24xy^2 + h'(y)
\]

Set this equal to \( N(x, y) = 18x^2y + 12xy^2 \):

\[
27x^2y + 24xy^2 + h'(y) = 18x^2y + 12xy^2
\]

Simplifying, we get:

\[
(27x^2y - 18x^2y) + (24xy^2 - 12xy^2) + h'(y) = 0
\]
\[
9x^2y + 12xy^2 + h'(y) = 0
\]

Thus, \( h'(y) = 0 \), so \( h(y) \) is a constant. Therefore, the solution is:

\[
\psi(x, y) = \frac{27}{2}x^2y^2 + 8xy^3
\]

### Step 3: Solve for \( k \)
We are given that \( y(1) = 2 \). Substituting \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 2 \) into the solution \( \psi(x, y) = k \):

\[
\psi(1, 2) = \frac{27}{2}(1)^2(2)^2 + 8(1)(2)^3
\]
\[
= \frac{27}{2} \times 4 + 8 \times 8
\]
\[
= \frac{108}{2} + 64 = 54 + 64 = 118
\]

Thus, \( k = 118 \), which is not one of the given options. Therefore, the correct answer is:

\[
\boxed{\text{None of the other answers}}
