    A line passes through the point of intersection of the lines\[100x+50y-1=0\]and\[75x+25y+\] \[3=0\]and makes equal intercepts on the axes. Its equation is

    A)  \[25x+25y-1=0\]

    B)  \[5x-5y+3=0\]

    C)  \[25x+25y-4=0\]

    D)  \[25x-25y+6=0\]

    E)  \[5x-5y+7=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Equation of intersection of lines is \[(100x+50y-1)+\lambda (75x+25y+3)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(100+75\lambda )x+(50+25\lambda )y=1-3\lambda \]?..(i) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{x}{\frac{1-3\lambda }{100+75\lambda }}+\frac{y}{\frac{1-3\lambda }{50+25\lambda }}=1\] According to the given condition \[\frac{1-3\lambda }{100+75\lambda }=\frac{1-3\lambda }{50+25\lambda }\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[50=-50\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda =-1\] \[\therefore \]From Eq. (i), \[25x+25y-4=0\]
