Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of line joining \((0,3)\) and \((5,-2)\) is \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{y-3}{x}=-1 \Rightarrow x+y-3=0 ...(i)\\ & \because y=\frac{c}{x+1} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-c}{(x+1)^2}=-1 \\ & c=(x+1)^2 \\ & y=x+1 \Rightarrow x-y+1=0...(ii) \end{aligned}\) Solving (i)…
