Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{5}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of line is \[ \begin{array}{rlrl} & & (a+2 b) x+(a-3 b) y & =a-b \\ \Rightarrow & a x+2 b x+a y-3 b y & =a-b \\ \Rightarrow & a(x+y-1)+b(2 x-3 y+1) & =0 \end{array} \] Equating the coefficient, we obtain \[ \begin{array}{r} x+y-1=0 \\ 2 x-3 y+1=0 \end{array} \]…
