Two points \(P(a, 2)\) and \(Q(1, b)\) lie on either side of the line \(2 x-3 y+1=0\). If \(P\) is the point of intersection of the lines \(4 x+3 y+k=0\) and \(3 x+4 y+k=0\), then the range of \(b\) is

  1. A \((-\infty, 3)\)
  2. B \((-\infty, 1)\)
  3. C \((1, \infty)\)
  4. D \(\quad(3, \infty)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((-\infty, 1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because P\) and \(Q\) lie on either side of line \[ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad & (2 a-3(2)+1)(2-3(b)+1) < 0 \\ & (2 a-5)(3-3 b) < 0 \\ & (2 a-5)(1-b) < 0 \end{aligned} \] Also \((a, 2)\) is point of intersection of \(4 x+3 y+k=0\) and…
