If the lines ax + y + 1 = 0, x + by + 1 = 0 and x + y + c = 0 (a, b, c being distinct and different from 1 ) are concurrent, then value of 11−a+11−b+11−c
Please read the guide .
Please answer the question in detail
The correct answer is option c) 1
if the given lines are concurrent , then a111b111c=0
Applying { C2→C2−C1and C3→C3−C1}
a1−a1−a1b−1010c−1=0
= a(b-1)(c-1) -(c-1)(1-a)-(b-1)(1-a)=0
=a1−a+11−b+11−c
(dividing by (1-a )(1-b)(1-c))
=11−a+11−b+11−c=1
