  1. A point equidistant from the lines 4x + 3y + 10 = 0, 5x – 12y + 26 = 0 and 7x + 24y – 50 = 0 is
    1. (1, –1)
    2. (1, 1)
    3. (0, 0)
    4. (0, 1)
Correct Option: C

Here, it is clear that distance of the given lines from (0, 0) is equal.

d1 =
y - mx - c1
1 + m²

=
10
5

= 2 units
d2 =
5 × 0 - 12 × 0 + 26
5² + 12²

=
26
13

= 2 units
d3 =
7 × 0 + 24 × 0 - 50
7² + 24²

=
- 50
625

=
50
25

d3 = 2
