C. 4:14: 1

Step-by-step solution

A straight line through origin O meets the lines 3y = 10 - 4x and 8x + 6y + 5 = 0 at points A and B respectively. Then,

Let A(r1cosθ,r1sinθ)A\left({r}_{1}cos\theta, {r}_{1}sin\theta\right)

AA Lies on straight line 4x+3y=104x + 3y = 10

⇒4(r1cosθ)+3(r1sinθ)=10⇒ 4\left({r}_{1}cos\theta\right) + 3\left({r}_{1}sin\theta\right) = 10

⇒r1(4cosθ+3sinθ)=10⇒ {r}_{1}\left(4cos\theta + 3sin\theta\right) = 10
⇒r1=104cosθ+3sinθ⇒ {r}_{1} = \dfrac{10}{4cos\theta + 3sin\theta}

Let B(−r2cosθ,−r2sinθ)B\left(- {r}_{2}cos\theta, - {r}_{2}sin\theta\right)

BB lies on line 8x+6y+5=08x + 6y + 5 = 0

⇒8(−r2cosθ)+6(−r2sinθ)+5=0⇒ 8\left(- {r}_{2}cos\theta\right) + 6\left(- {r}_{2}sin\theta\right) + 5 = 0

⇒r2(8cosθ+6sinθ)−5=0⇒ {r}_{2}\left(8cos\theta + 6sin\theta\right) - 5 = 0⇒r2=58cosθ+6sinθ⇒ {r}_{2} = \dfrac{5}{8cos\theta + 6sin\theta}
∴r1r2=41∴ \dfrac{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}} = \dfrac{4}{1}
