Let $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}$ and $\mathrm{d}$ be non-zero numbers. If the point of intersection of the lines $4 a x+2 a y+c=0$ and $5 b x+2 b y$ $+\mathrm{d}=0$ lies in the fourth quadrant and is equidistant from the two coordinate axes, then
  1. $3 \mathrm{bc}-2 \mathrm{ad}=0$
  2. $3 \mathrm{bc}+2 \mathrm{ad}=0$
  3. $2 \mathrm{bc}-3 \mathrm{ad}=0$
  4. $2 \mathrm{bc}+3 \mathrm{ad}=0$

Solution

Given: $4 \mathrm{ax}+2 \mathrm{ay}+\mathrm{c}=0$ $5 b x+2 b y+d=0$ Eqn. (i) $\times b-$ (ii) $\times a$ $ -a b x+b c-a d=0 $ $ \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{bc}-\mathrm{ad}}{\mathrm{ab}} $ Putting the value of $x$ in eqn. (ii), we get $ \begin{aligned} & 5 b\left(\frac{b c-a d}{a b}\right)+2 b y+d=0 \\ & \Rightarrow y=\frac{4 a d-5 b c}{2 a b} \end{aligned} $ Point of intersection is $P\left(\frac{b c-a d}{a b}, \frac{4 a d-5 b c}{2 a b}\right)$ $\because \mathrm{P}$ is in fourth quadrant and equidistant from the two coordinate axes. $ \begin{aligned} & \therefore-\frac{4 a d-5 b c}{2 a b}=\frac{b c-a d}{a b} \\ & \Rightarrow-4 a d+5 b c=2 b c-2 a d \\ & \Rightarrow 3 b c=2 a b \Rightarrow 3 b c-2 a d=0 \end{aligned} $
