  1. A \(-2\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(0\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the given informations, \(\frac{\frac{|\lambda-5|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}}}{\frac{|\lambda+5|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}}}=\frac{3}{7} \Rightarrow \frac{|\lambda-5|}{|\lambda+5|}=\frac{3}{7}\)…
