Answer: Option D. -> 7
:
D

= 12[4(- 2 + 16) + 3(-16 - 4) + 3(4 + 2)]


                =  12 [56 - 60 + 18] = 7.


Question 23.


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)
  4.     (4,1)
 Discuss Question
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 24.


If the line
(3x+14y+7)+k(5x+7y+6)=0
is parallel to the y-axis, then the value of k is


  1.     13
  2.     35
  3.     2
  4.     2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2
:
C

Given line is (3x+14y+7)+k(5x+7y+6)=0


(3+5k)x+(14+7k)y+(7+6k)=0


If it is parallel to y- axis, then coefficient of y =0


14+7k=0


k=2


Question 25.


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 26.


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 b are perpendicular if a+b = 0
Here a + b = 0, so they are perpendicular to each other


Question 27.


If the lines (pq)x2+2(p+q)xy+(qp)y2=0 are mutually perpendicular, then 


  1.      p = q
  2.     q = 0

Question 28.


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

  2.     12
  3.     12
  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 29.


Two points A and B have coordinates (1, 0) and (-1, 0) respectively and Q is a point which satisfies the relation


AQ - BQ = ± 1. The locus of Q is


  1.     12x2+4y2=3
  2.     12x24y2=3
  3.     12x24y2+3 = 0
  4.     12x2+4y2+3 = 0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12x24y2=3
:
B

According to the given condition


(x1)2+y2(x+1)2+y2 = ±1


On squaring both sides, we get


2x2+2y2+1=2(x1)2+y2(x+1)2+y2


Again on squaring, we get 12x24y2=3.


Question 30.


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.
