Detailed Solution

 The given lines are 2x3y+λ=0(1)3x – 4y – 13 = 0...(2), 8x – 11y – 33= 0...(3). 
if (h,k) be the point of intersection of (2) and (3) then 3h – 4k – 13 = 0, 8h – 11k – 33 = 0.
Solving for h and k we get h = 11, k = 5.
Since three lines are concurrent, the point (11, 5) should satisfy the equation (1).
2(11)3(5)+λ=0λ=7
