If a variable line drawn through the intersection of the lines x3+y4=1\dfrac{x}{3} + \dfrac{y}{4} = 1 and x4+y3=1\dfrac{x}{4} + \dfrac{y}{3} = 1 , meets the coordinate axes at AandBA and B, (A≠B),\left(A \ne B\right),then the locus of the midpoint of ABAB is:

Options

  1. A7xy=6(x+y)7xy = 6\left(x + y\right)
  2. B4(x+y)2−28(x+y)+49=04{\left(x + y\right)}^{2} - 28\left(x + y\right) + 49 = 0
  3. C6xy=7(x+y)6xy = 7\left(x + y\right)
  4. D14(x+y)2−97(x+y)+168=014{\left(x + y\right)}^{2} - 97\left(x + y\right) + 168 = 0

Correct answer

A. 7xy=6(x+y)7xy = 6\left(x + y\right)
