The straight lines x + 2y – 9 = 0, 3x + 5y – 5 = 0 and ax + by – 1 = 0 are concurrent if the straight line 22x – 35y – 1 = 0 passes through the point

x + 2y – 9 = 0 ---(1)
3x + 5y – 5 = 0 ---(2)
ax + by – 1 = 0 ---(3)
Solving (1) and (2) simultaneously we get
y = 22, x = – 35
Now, equation (1), (2) and (3) will be concurrent, that is they will pass through one point if y = 22, x = – 35 satisfy the third equation ax + by – 1 = 0.
Substituting the values of 'x' and 'y' in this equation we get – 35a + 22b – 1 = 0 ---(4)
And another equation given is 22x – 35y – 1 = 0 ---(5)
Equation (5) will be of the form of equation (4), if we substitute
x = b & y = a
That is 22x – 35y – 1 = 0 passes through (b, a)
