Let two points beA1,-1andB0,2.If a pointPx', y'be such that the area ofPAB=5sq. units and it lies on the line3x+y-4λ=0,then a value ofλis

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

=120211-11x'y'1
-21-x'+y'+x'=±10
-2+2x'+y'+x'=±10
3x'+y'=12 Or 3x'+y'=-8 ...i

x', y' lies on the line 3x+y-4λ=0,

So, 3x'+y'-4λ=0...ii

Solving i and ii, we get,
     λ=3,-2
