Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 16

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 x+3 y-1=0\) \(x+2 y-1=0\) \(a x+b y-1=0\) \(\left(\frac{6-6}{3}, \frac{8-8}{3}\right)\) \(=(0,0)\) \(a x+b y-1=0\) \(\left(\frac{1-0}{-1-0}\right)\left(\frac{-a}{b}\right)=-1\) \(\Rightarrow- a = b\) \(\Rightarrow a x-a y-1=0\) \(a x-a\left(1-\frac{2 x}{3}\right)-1\)…
