If the line $4 x+3 y-k=0,2 x+y+3=0$ and $3 x+2 y+k=0$ are concurrent, then the perpendicular distance from the point of concurrency of these lines to the line $3 x+4 y+2=0$ is

  • A
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • B
    1
  • C
    $\frac{13}{5}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    3

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { (d) }\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 4 & 3 & -k \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 & k \end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4(k-6)-3(2 k-9)-k(4-3)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4 k-24-6 k+27-4 k+3 k=0 \Rightarrow 3 k=3 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad k=1 \\ & \therefore \quad L_1: 4 x+3 y-1=0 \\ & \quad L_2: 2 x+y+3=0 \end{aligned} $$ Eqn. (1) - (Eqn. (2) $\times 2$ ), $$ \begin{aligned} & y=7 \\ \therefore \quad x & =-5 \end{aligned} $$ $\therefore \quad$ Point of concurrency is $(-5,7)$ Distance from $(-5,7)$ to $3 x+4 y+2=0$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \quad d=\left|\frac{3(-5)+4(7)+2}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}}\right| \\ & \therefore \quad d=3 . \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
