  4. D \(15\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{x}(3 \lambda+1)+\mathrm{y}(7 \lambda+2)=17 \lambda+5 \\ & (\mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}-5)+\lambda(3 \mathrm{x}+7 \mathrm{y}-17)=0 \end{aligned}\) intersection of family of lines \(\mathrm{P}(1,2)\) Let \(\mathrm{Q}(3,6)\)…
