B. 74
Step-by-step solution
On plotting the graph we get,
Now by diagram mAC⟶∞ and mPD=0 as PD is perpendicular bisector, so D(2a+a,2b+3)
≡D(a,2b+3)
Now since mPD=0, so 2b+3−1=0
⇒b+3−2=0⇒b=−1
Now similarly finding the coordinates of E(2b+a,25+b)=(2a−1,2){asb=−1}
Now we know that product of perpendicular slopes is mCB⋅mEP=−1
⇒(b−a5−b)=2a−1−12−1=−1
⇒(−1−a6)=(a−32)=−1
⇒12=(1+a)(a−3)
⇒12=a2−3a+a−3
⇒a2−2a−15=0
⇒(a−5)(a+3)=0
So, a=5 or a=−3
Now given ab>0
So, a(−1)>0⇒a<0
So, a=−3
Now equation of line AP by two point form will be, {where A(−3,3) and P(1,1)}
y−1=(−3−13−1)(x−1)
⇒−2y+2=x−1
⇒x+2y=3⋯(1)
Now equation of line BC {where B(−1,5) and C(−3,−1)} will be,
\left(y - 5\right) = \dfrac{6}{2}(x+1)
⇒y−5=3x+3
⇒y=3x+8⋯(2)
Now solving \left(1\right)and(2) we get,
x+2(3x+8)=3
⇒7x+16=3⇒7x=−13
⇒x=−713
And y=3(−713)+8=7−39+56
So, y=717
So the value of \left({k}_{1}, {k}_{2}\right)willbex + y = \dfrac{- 13 + 17}{7} = \dfrac{4}{7}{wherek1isx and k2isy}
