Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
{L}_{1}: 4x + 3y - 12 = 0{L}_{2}: 3x + 4y - 12 = 0{L}_{1} + \lambda{L}_{2} = 0⇒\left(4x + 3y - 12\right) + \lambda\left(3x + 4y - 12\right) = 0$<br /><br />$⇒x\left(4 + 3\lambda\right) + y\left(3 + 4\lambda\right) - 12\left(1 + \lambda\right) = 0A\left(\dfrac{12\left(1 + \lambda\right)}{4 + 3\lambda}, 0\right)B\left(0, \dfrac{12\left(1 + \lambda\right)}{3 + 4\lambda}\right)⇒ h = \dfrac{6\left(1 + \lambda\right)}{4 + 3\lambda}
.......\left(ii\right)\lambda and \left(ii\right)6\left(h + k\right) = 7hk6\left(x + y\right) = 7xy
