Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5/2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the line is given as a x+b y=1 and the equation of the curve is given as, x2+y2-x-y-1=0 By homogenising both equations, x2+y2-x(ax+by)-y(ax+by)-(ax+by)2=0 x2+y2-ax2-bxy-axy-by2-a2x2+b2y2+2abxy=0 x21-a-a2+xy(-a-b-2ab)+y21-b-b2=0 Since it is given that…
