Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, equation of \(A B, A C\) and \(B C\) are \(x-3 y=0,3 x-y=0, x+y+4=0\) on solving equation of \(A B\) and \(B C\) we get \(B(-3,-1)\) Since \(B\) lies on \(3 x-y+k=0\) \(\therefore \quad 3(-3)-(-1)+k=0 \Rightarrow k=8\)
