Let L be the line belonging to the family of straight lines (a+2b) x+(a-3b)y+a-8b =0, a, b `in `R, which is the farthest from the point (2, 2).
The equation of line L is

A

4/3 sq. units

B

9/2 sq. units

C

49/8 sq. units

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Also, this line x+4y+7 =0 meets the axes C(-7,0) and D(0, -7/4). Then the area of triangle OCD is (1/2)|(-7)(-7/4)| or 49/8.
