Solution

The correct options are
A a+b=2512
B |ab|=712
C ab=1
Given line

x3+y4=1

4x+3y=12----(1)

x4+y3=1

3x+4y=12----(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get

x=127,y=127

Point of intersection of given lines (127,127)

Line from Points (3,4) and (127,127)

y4=12741273(x3)

y4=169(x3)

9y36=16x48

16x9y=12

x34+y43=1

On comparing above eq with intercept form of a line

a=34,b=43

|a+b|=3443=712

|ab|=34+43=2512

ab=34×43=1
