The correct answer is: 20
Equation of the given line is ax+by+c1=0

20 ax+20 by+20 c20=0     .....(i)

From the given relation, substituting value of c, we get,
20 ax+20 by+t5a4b20=0

20 a( x 1 4 )+20 b( y 1 5 )+( t20 )=0

Clearly for t=20, the given line will pass through the point ( 1 4 , 1 5 ) for all the values of a & b
