Solution

The correct option is B 20
The point of intersection of the given lines is (492+m,2+50m2+m).
For the x coordinate 492+m to be an integer 49 should be a multiple of 2+m.
Hence m can be 47,5,1 etc.

The greatest value of m is 47.

Similarly the least value occurs when 2+m=49m=51 .
For greatest value of m:
For the point of intersection of lines 2x+y=50 and 47xy+1=0
2x+y=50x=50y2
47(50y2)y+1=0 i.e (x,y)=(1,48)
For the least value of m:
For the point of intersection of lines 2x+y=50 and 51x+y1=0
2x+y=50x=50y2
51(50y2)+y1=0 i.e (x,y)=(1,52)
The square of the distance between these two points is (1+1)2+(4852)2=20
