The correct answer is: 3bc-2ad=0

Let (h,k) be the intersection of the two given lines its equidistant from both axes.

 h=k

Since it lies in the fourth quadrant, the point can be written as (h,-h), where h>0.

(h,-h) lies on both the lines.

 4ah-2ah+c=0

∴ c=-2ah    h=-c2a

5bh-2bh+d=0

∴ d=-3bh    h=-d3b

 -c2a=-d3b

 3bc-2ad=0
