Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (2, 1) and through the point of intersection of the lines x + 2y = 3 and 2x – 3y= 4.


Options:
A .   5x + 3y – 13 = 0
B .   4x – 7y – 1= 0
C .   2x – 7y – 20=0
D .   x – 7y + 13 =0
Answer: Option A
:
A

1st method: - equation of any straight line passing through the intersection of the lines x + 2y = 3 and 2x – 3y= 4 is


λ(x + 2y – 3) + (2x – 3y – 4) = 0


Since it passes through the point (2, 1)


λ(2 + 2 – 3) + (4 – 3 – 4) = 0


 λ - 3 = 0


λ = 3


Now substituting this value of λ  in (i), we get


3(x + 2y – 3) + (2x – 3y – 4) = 0


5x + 3y – 13 = 0


2nd method: - The straight line passing through the point (2, 1), put x = 2 and y = 1only option (a) and (b) will satisfy. Now, intersection point of the lines x + 2y = 3 and 2x – 3y= 4 is (177,27), Put x = 177 and y = 27 only option(a) will satisfy. Option(a).
