    1. x + y = 1
      5
      5
      32
    2. x
      +
      y
      = 1
      53
    3. x
      +
      y
      = 1
      25
    4. x - y = 1
      5
      5
      32
Correct Option: A

When a line cuts an intercept of a and b x-axis. Its equation will be

x
+
y
ab

⇒ 3x + 2y – 5 = 0
⇒ 3x + 2y = 5
Dividing by 5 on both sides, we get
3
x +
2
y = 1
55

x + y = 1 (Desired Result)
5
5
22
