The correct answer is: (-3,0)13,1

Let, Pa2,a+1L1:3x-y+1=0 and L2:x+2y-5=0.

Now, origin and P lies on the same side with respect to line L1.

L1(0)·L1(P)>0

3a2-(a+1)+1>0

3a2-a>0

a3a-1>0

a(-,0)13,   ...i

Now, L2:x+2y-5=0

Origin and P lies on same side with respect to L2

L2(0)·L2(P)>0

a2+2(a+1)-5<0

a2+2a-3<0

(a+3)(a-1)<0

a(-3,1)   ...ii

Using intersection of i and ii,

a(-3,0)13,1
