The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Let $(\alpha,-\alpha)$ be the point of intersection
$\therefore 4 a \alpha-2 a \alpha+ c =0$
$ \Rightarrow \alpha=-\frac{c}{2a}$
and $5b \alpha-2 b \alpha+ d =0$
$ \Rightarrow \alpha=-\frac{d}{3 b}$
$\Rightarrow 3 b c=2 a d $
$\Rightarrow 3 b c-2 a d=0$
:
The point of intersection will be
$ \frac{x}{2 a d-2 b c}=\frac{-y}{4 a d-5 b c}=\frac{1}{8 a b-10 a b} $
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2(a d-b c)}{-2 a b} $
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{5 b c-4 a d}{-2 a b}$
$\because$ Point of intersection is in fourth quadrant so x is positive and y is negative
Also distance from axes is same
So $x = - y $ $(\because$ distance from x-axis is - y as y is negative)


$\frac{2(a d-b c)}{-2 a b}=\frac{-(5 b c-4 a d)}{-2 a b}$
$2 a d-2 b c=-5 b c+4 a d$
$\Rightarrow 3 b c-2 a d=0\,\,\,\,\,\,\dots(i)$

Concepts Used:

Straight lines

A straight line is a line having the shortest distance between two points. 

A straight line can be represented as an equation in various forms,  as show in the image below:

 

The following are the many forms of the equation of the line that are presented in straight line-

1. Slope – Point Form

Assume P0(x0, y0) is a fixed point on a non-vertical line L with m as its slope. If P (x, y) is an arbitrary point on L, then the point (x, y) lies on the line with slope m through the fixed point (x0, y0) if and only if its coordinates fulfil the equation below.

y – y0 = m (x – x0)

2. Two – Point Form

Let's look at the line. L crosses between two places. P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2)  are general points on L, while P (x, y) is a general point on L. As a result, the three points P1, P2, and P are collinear, and it becomes

The slope of P2P = The slope of P1P2 , i.e.

\(\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Hence, the equation becomes:

y - y1 =\( \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x1)\)

3. Slope-Intercept Form

Assume that a line L with slope m intersects the y-axis at a distance c from the origin, and that the distance c is referred to as the line L's y-intercept. As a result, the coordinates of the spot on the y-axis where the line intersects are (0, c). As a result, the slope of the line L is m, and it passes through a fixed point (0, c). The equation of the line L thus obtained from the slope – point form is given by

y – c =m( x - 0 )

As a result, the point (x, y) on the line with slope m and y-intercept c lies on the line, if and only if

y = m x +c
