Solution
Given, the point P(α)(,β) be at a unit distance from each of the two lines L1:3x−4y+12=0, and L2:8x+6y+11=0, so on plotting the diagram we get,
Now, L1:3x−4y+12=0 and L2:8x+6y+11=0
Since {L}_{1}&{L}_{2} are perpendicular so it will form square of unit length, so equation of angle bisector of L1 and L2 of angle containing origin and will pass through (α,β), so
Equation of angle bisector will be, 32+42(3x−4y+12)=82+628x+6y+11
⇒2(3x−4y+12)=8x+6y+11
⇒2x+14y−13=0
⇒2α+14β−13=0⋯(i)
Also given perpendicular distance is one unit so, 53α−4β+12=1
⇒3α−4β+7=0⋯(ii)
Solving equation (\text{i})&(\text{ii})
2α+14β−13=0
3α−4β+7=0
⇒P(α)(,β),α=25−23,β=5053
So, 100(α+β)=14
