The correct answer is:
1
$x y+a x+b y=0$
Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get
$\frac{x \mathrm{~d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}+y+\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b} \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=0$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=-\frac{\mathrm{a}+y}{\mathrm{~b}+x} \\ & \Rightarrow\left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)_{(\mathrm{b}, 1)}=-\frac{\mathrm{a}+1}{\mathrm{~b}+1} \\ & \Rightarrow 2=-\frac{\mathrm{a}+1}{\mathrm{~b}+1}\end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow a+2 b=-3$ ...(i)
Also, the point $(1,1)$ lies on the curve
$x y+a x+b y=0$.
$\therefore \quad 1+a+b=0$
$\Rightarrow a+b=-1$ ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get $a=1, b=-2$
$\therefore \quad 3 a+b=1$
