  1. A \(\frac{24 \sqrt{5}}{7}\)
  2. B \(3 \sqrt{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{23 \sqrt{5}}{7}\)
  4. D \(4 \sqrt{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{24 \sqrt{5}}{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The slope of the line, \(y-2 x+7=0\) \(\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow \quad y =2 x-7 \\ \text { Slope } \quad(m) =2 \\ \therefore \text { Slope of } P Q =m_{P Q}=2 \\ \text { Equation of } P Q & \end{array}\) \((y-4)=2(x-3)\) On putting, the value of \(y\) in Eq. (ii), we get…
