Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{50}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A=(3,1)\) Let slope of line be \(m\) \(\begin{array}{ll} \therefore \quad & y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right) \quad \text { [be the required line] } \\ & y-1=m(x-3) \end{array}\) \(\begin{aligned} & y-1=m x-3 m \\ & m x-y+(1-3 m)=0 \quad \ldots (i) \end{aligned}\) The greatest…
