Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{array}{r} x y-x-y+1=0 \\ a x+2 y-3 a=0 \end{array} \] and Eqs. (i) with, On comparing Eqs. (i) with, \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\), we get \(a=0, b=0, h=\frac{1}{2}, g=-\frac{1}{2}, f=-\frac{1}{2}, c=1\) The point of concurrent is…
