Detailed Solution
The line 2x+5y=10 cuts x-axis at A5,0 and the line 3x+4y=12 cuts x-axis at B4,0The point C lies on y-axis , let it be C0,kGiven 5,4,k are in geometric progressionIt implies that 45=k4 Cross multiply 5k=16k=165Hence the line L is passing through the points 3,4,0,165Equation of Ly−4=165−40−3x−3=415x−315y−60=4x−124x−15y+48=0Hence, a+b+c=4−15+48=37
