Q.

 The lines 2x+5y=10 and 3x+4y=12 cuts the x-axis at A and B respectively. A

 line L drawn through the point (3,4) meets y-axis at C such that the abscissae of A

B and ordinate of C are in geometric progression. If the equation of the line L is 

ax+by+c=0 then a+b+c is

Detailed Solution

 The line 2x+5y=10 cuts x-axis at A(5,0) and the line 3x+4y=12 cuts x-axis at B4,0

 The point Clies on y-axis, let it be C(0,k)

 Given 5,4,k are in geometric progression 

It implies that 

45=k4

Cross multiply 

5k=16k=165

 Given 5,4,k are in geometric progression 

 Equation of L

y4=165403x3=415x315y60=4x124x15y+48=0

 Hence, l+m+n=415+48=37
