Let a,b,ca, b, c and dd be non-zero numbers. If the point of intersection of the lines 4ax+2ay+c=0 and 5bx+2by+d=04ax + 2ay + c = 0 \text{ and } 5bx + 2by + d = 0 lies in the fourth quadrant and is equidistant from the two axes then

Options

  1. A3bc−2ad=03bc - 2ad = 0
  2. B3bc+2ad=03bc + 2ad = 0
  3. C2bc−3ad=02bc - 3ad = 0
  4. D2bc+3ad=02bc + 3ad = 0

Correct answer

A. 3bc−2ad=03bc - 2ad = 0

Step-by-step solution

Let (h,k)( h, k ) be the intersection of the two given lines its equidistant from both axes.

∴∣h∣=∣k∣∴ \left|h\right| = \left|k\right|

Since it lies in the fourth quadrant, the point can be written as (h,−h)( h, - h ), where h>0h > 0.

(h,−h)( h, - h ) lies on both the lines.

∴4ah−2ah+c=0∴ 4ah - 2ah + c =0

∴c=−2ah∴ c = - 2ah ∴h=−c2a∴ h = \dfrac{- c}{2a}

5bh−2bh+d=05bh - 2bh + d =0

∴d=−3bh∴ d = - 3bh ∴h=−d3b∴ h = \dfrac{- d}{3b}

∴−c2a=−d3b∴ \dfrac{- c}{2a} = \dfrac{- d}{3b}

∴3bc−2ad=0∴ 3bc - 2ad =0
