Answer

Substituting (1, -2) in L.H.S. of the equation 3x - 5y + 7 = 0, we get :

⇒ 3x - 5y + 7

⇒ 3(1) - 5(-2) + 7

⇒ 3 + 10 + 7

⇒ 20

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S., (1, -2) does not satisfy the equation.

Substituting (2, 1) in L.H.S. of the equation 3x - 5y + 7 = 0, we get :

⇒ 3x - 5y + 7

⇒ 3(2) - 5(1) + 7

⇒ 6 - 5 + 7

⇒ 8

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S., (2, 1) does not satisfy the equation.

Substituting (-1, 2) in L.H.S. of the equation 3x - 5y + 7 = 0, we get :

⇒ 3x - 5y + 7

⇒ 3(-1) - 5(2) + 7

⇒ -3 - 10 + 7

⇒ -6

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S., (-1, 2) does not satisfy the equation.

Substituting (1, 2) in L.H.S. of the equation 3x - 5y + 7 = 0, we get :

⇒ 3x - 5y + 7

⇒ 3(1) - 5(2) + 7

⇒ 3 - 10 + 7

⇒ 0

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S., (1, 2) satisfies the equation.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
