The correct answer is: 75

The image h,k of a point Px1,y1 about the line ax+by+c=0 is given  by

h-x1a=k-y1b=-2ax1+by1+ca2+b2

Now putting all values from the given data in this formula, we get

a+11=b-2-2=-2-1-4+31+4

a=-15,b=25

Length of perpendicular from -15,25 on the line 2x+y-7=0 is given by

2×-15+25-71+4=-75=75
