If a line \(a x+2 y=k\) forms a triangle of area 3 sq. units with the coordinate axis and is perpendicular to the line \(2 x-3 y+7=0\), then the product of all the possible values of \(\mathrm{k}\) is

  1. A \(-36\)
  2. B \(36\)
  3. C \(-64\)
  4. D \(64\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-36\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a x+2 y=k\) is perpendicular to \(2 x-3 y+7=0\) \[ \begin{aligned} & \therefore m_1 \cdot m_2=-1 \\ & \frac{-a}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}=-1 \Rightarrow a=3 \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore 3 x+2 y=k\) forms triangle of area 3 sq. units \[ 3 x+2 y=k \]…
