Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(348\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sol. Point of intersection of \(\ell_1: 3 y -2 x =3\) \(\ell_2: x - y +1=0 \text { is } P \equiv(0,1)\) Which lies on \(\ell_3: \alpha x +\beta y +17=0\), \(\Rightarrow \beta=-17\) Consider a random point \(Q \equiv(-1,0)\) on \(\ell_2: x - y +1=0\), image of \(Q\) about…
