The point P (a, b) lies on the straight line 3x + 2y = 13 and the point Q (b, a) lies on the straight line 4x - y = 51 then the equation of the line PQ is

a
x-y=5
b
x+y=5
c
x+y=-5
d
x-y=-5

detailed solution

Correct option is B

It is given that points P (a, b) and Q (b, a) lie on the lines 3x + 2y = 13 and 4x - y = 5 respectively.∴ 3a+2b=13 and 4b−a=5⇒a=3,b=2Thus, the coordinates of P and Q are (3, 2) and (2, 3) respectively. So, the equation of line PQ is       y−2=3−22−3(x−3) or, x+y=5
