Correct answer: B

  1. Equation of all lines parallel to 4x−3y+2=04x-3y+2=04x−3y+2=0

Any line parallel to 4x−3y+2=04x-3y+2=04x−3y+2=0 has the form 4x−3y+c=04x-3y+c=04x−3y+c=0 for some constant ccc.

  1. Use the distance from origin condition

Distance of the point (0,0)(0,0)(0,0) from the line 4x−3y+c=04x-3y+c=04x−3y+c=0 is ∣c∣42+(−3)2=∣c∣5\frac{|c|}{\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2}}=\frac{|c|}{5}42+(−3)2​∣c∣​=5∣c∣​

Given distance is 35\dfrac{3}{5}53​, so ∣c∣5=35\frac{|c|}{5}=\frac{3}{5}5∣c∣​=53​ ∣c∣=3|c|=3∣c∣=3 Hence the required lines are 4x−3y+3=04x-3y+3=04x−3y+3=0 and 4x−3y−3=04x-3y-3=04x−3y−3=0

  1. Check which option lies on any of these lines

A point lies on one of these lines if 4x−3y=±34x-3y=\pm 34x−3y=±3


Option A: (14,−13)\left(\dfrac14,-\dfrac13\right)(41​,−31​)

4(14)−3(−13)=1+1=24\left(\frac14\right)-3\left(-\frac13\right)=1+1=24(41​)−3(−31​)=1+1=2 Not equal to ±3\pm 3±3.


Option B: (−14,23)\left(-\dfrac14,\dfrac23\right)(−41​,32​)

4(−14)−3(23)=−1−2=−34\left(-\frac14\right)-3\left(\frac23\right)=-1-2=-34(−41​)−3(32​)=−1−2=−3 This satisfies 4x−3y=−34x-3y=-34x−3y=−3, so it lies on 4x−3y+3=04x-3y+3=04x−3y+3=0


Option C: (−14,−23)\left(-\dfrac14,-\dfrac23\right)(−41​,−32​)

4(−14)−3(−23)=−1+2=14\left(-\frac14\right)-3\left(-\frac23\right)=-1+2=14(−41​)−3(−32​)=−1+2=1 Not equal to ±3\pm 3±3.


Option D: (14,13)\left(\dfrac14,\dfrac13\right)(41​,31​)

4(14)−3(13)=1−1=04\left(\frac14\right)-3\left(\frac13\right)=1-1=04(41​)−3(31​)=1−1=0 Not equal to ±3\pm 3±3.

  1. Conclusion

The point that lies on one of the required lines is (−14,23)\boxed{\left(-\frac14,\frac23\right)}(−41​,32​)​ which is Option B.
