1. x + y - 11 = 0
2. x - 2y - 11 = 0
3. x + 3y - 11 = 0
4. x + 4y - 11 = 0
5. None of these

Correct Answer - Option 4 : x + 4y - 11 = 0

Concept:

The equation of the line with points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

\(\rm {y\ -\ y_1\over x \ -\ x_1} = {y_2\ -\ y_1\over x_2\ -\ x_1}\)

Calculation:

Given lines x - y + 4 = 0        ---(i)

y - 2x - 5 = 0        ---(ii)

Adding the 2 equation (i) and (ii)

-x - 1 = 0

x = -1

Putting it in equation (i)

-1 - y + 4 = 0

y = 3

Intersection of the lines (-1, 3)

Now the equation of the line to be find out is 

\(\rm {y\ -\ 3\over x \ -\ (-1)} = {2\ -\ 3\over 3\ -\ (-1)}\)

4(y - 3) = -1(x + 1)

4y + x - 11 = 0
