Question 1. The angle between the pair of straight lines x2y22y1=0, is 
  1.    90∘
  2.    60∘
  3.    75∘
  4.    36∘

Answer: Option A. -> 90∘
:
A
Pair of straight lines represented by a second degree equation with coefficient of x2 as a and coefficient of y2 as bare perpendicular if a+b = 0
Here a + b = 0,so they are perpendicular to each other
Question 2. If PM is the perpendicular from P (2,3) on to the line x+y=3 then the co-ordinates of M are
  1.    (2,1)
  2.    (−1,4)
  3.    (1,2)

Answer: Option C. -> (1,2)
:
C
If(x,y) is the foot of the perpendicular from (x1,y1) to the line ax + by + c = 0 then
xx1a=yy1b=(ax1+by1+c)a2+b2
Here (x1,y1)=(2,3);ax+by+c=x+y3
x21=y31=((1×2)+(1×3)+(3))12+12
x21=y31=((2)+(3)+(3))2
x21=y31=22
x21=y31=1
x - 2 = -1 ; y-3 = -1
x = -1 + 2 ; y = -1 + 3
x = 1 ; y = 2
(x,y) = (1,2)
Question 3. If two vertices of a triangle are (6,4), (2,6) and its centroid is (4, 6), then the third vertex is 
  1.    (4,8)
  2.    (8,4)
  3.    (6,4)
  4.    (0,0)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (4,8)
:
A
Given:
Centroid =(4,6)
Vertices(6,4)&(2,6)
Let the Co-ordinates of C be (x3,y3)
x1=6,x2=32,y1=4&y2=6
Centroid (4,6)=(x1+x2+x33,y1+y2+y33)
4=6+2+x33 and6=4+6+y33
x3=4 andy3=8
Third vertex is (4,8).
Question 4. If 4a+5b+6c=0 then the set of lines ax+by+c=0 are concurrent at the point
  1.    (23,56)
  2.    (13,12)
  3.    (12,43)
  4.    (13,73)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (23,56)
:
A
4a+5b+6c=0
(6x)a+(6y)b+6c=0 [Multiply given set of lines ax+by+c=0 with '6']
Now on comparing 6x=4 and 6y =5
(x,y) = (23,56)
ax+by+c=0 must passes through(23,56)
Question 5. If the coordinates of the points A, B, C, be (4,4), (3,-2) and (3,-16) respectively, then the area of the triangle ABC is 
  1.    27
  2.    15
  3.    18
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 7
:
D
= 12[4(- 2 + 16) + 3(-16 - 4) + 3(4 + 2)]
= 12 [56 - 60 + 18] = 7.
Question 6. If the vertices of a triangle be (a, b - c), (b, c - a) and (c, a - b), then the centroid of the triangle lies
  1.    At origin
  2.    On x-axis
  3.    On y-axis
  4.    (a+b+c,0)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> On x-axis
:
B
x = a+b+c3, y = bc+ca+ab3 = 0
Hence, centroid lies on x - axis.
Question 7. The angle between the pair of straight lines x2y22y1=0, is 
  1.    90∘
  2.    60∘
  3.    75∘
  4.    36∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 90∘
:
A
Pair of straight lines represented by a second degree equation with coefficient of x2 as a and coefficient of y2 as bare perpendicular if a+b = 0
Here a + b = 0,so they are perpendicular to each other
Question 8. The lines joining the points of intersection of line x + y = 1 and curve x2+y22y+λ=0 to the origin are perpendicular, then the value of λ will be 
  1.    12
  2.    −12
  3.    1√2
  4.    0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 0
:
D
Making the equation of curve homogeneous with the help of line x + y =1,we get
x2+y22y(x+y)+λ(x+y)2=0
x2(1+λ)+y2(1+λ)2yx=0
Therefore the lines be perpendicular, if A +B = 0.
1+λ1+λ=0λ=0
Question 9. The orthocenter of the triangle formed by the lines x + y = 1, 2x + 3y = 6 and 4x - y + 4 = 0 lies in
  1.    I quadrant
  2.    II quadrant
  3.    III quadrant
  4.    IV quadrant
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> I quadrant
:
A
Coordinates of A and B are (-3, 4) and (35,85)​ if orthocenter P(h, k)
The orthocenter Of The Triangle Formed By The Lines X + Y =...
Then, (slope of PA)× (slope of BC) = - 1
k4h+3×4=1
4k - 16 = -h - 3
h + 4k = 13....(i)
and slope of PB× slope of AC = - 1
k85h+35×23=1
5k85h+3×23=1
10k - 16 = 15th + 9
15th - 10k + 25 = 10
3h - 2k + 5 = 0 ...(ii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get h=37,k=227
Hence, orthocentre lies in I quadrant.
Question 10. If (α, β), (¯x  , ¯y) and (u, v)are respectively coordinates of the circumcentre, centroid and orthocentre of a triangle.
  1.    3¯x =2α+u and 3¯y =2β+v
  2.    3¯x =2α−u and 3¯y =2β−v
  3.    3¯x =2α−u and 3¯y =2β+v
  4.    3¯x =2α+u and 3¯y =2β−v
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3¯x =2α−u and 3¯y =2β+v
:
C
We know that, the centroid of a triangle divides the segment joining the orthocentre and circumcentre internally in the ratio 2 : 1. Therefore,
¯x=2α+u2+1and¯y=2β+v2+1
3¯x=2α+uand¯y=2β+v
