Solution
The correct option is B20
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=−49⇒m=−51 . For greatest value of m: For the point of intersection of lines 2x+y=50 and 47x−y+1=0 2x+y=50⇒x=50−y2 ⇒47(50−y2)−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+y−1=0 2x+y=50⇒x=50−y2 ⇒51(50−y2)+y−1=0 i.e (x,y)=(−1,52) The square of the distance between these two points is (1+1)2+(48−52)2=20
