SOLUTION:

The correct option is option(a)

Explanation:

Given two lines are

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} 2x\text{ }-\text{ }3y\text{ }+\text{ }5\text{ }=\text{ }0~\ldots \text{ }\left( i \right)  \\ ~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~\text{ }~3x\text{ }+\text{ }4y\text{ }=\text{ }0\text{ }\ldots \text{ }\left( ii \right)  \\ \end{array}\]

Now, point of intersection of these lines can be find out as

Multiplying equation (i) by 3, we get

    \[6x\text{ }-\text{ }9y\text{ }+\text{ }15\text{ }=\text{ }0\text{ }\ldots \text{ }\left( iii \right)\]

Multiplying equation (ii) by 2, we get

    \[6x\text{ }+\text{ }8y\text{ }=\text{ }0\text{ }\ldots \text{ }\left( iv \right)\]

On subtracting equation (iv) from (iii), we get

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} 6x\text{ }-\text{ }9y\text{ }+\text{ }15\text{ }-\text{ }6x\text{ }-\text{ }8y\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \Rightarrow ~\text{ }-17y\text{ }+\text{ }15\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \Rightarrow ~\text{ }-17y\text{ }=\text{ }-15  \\ \end{array}\]
