  • Question 1
    2 / -0.83

    The lines x + (k –1) y + 1 = 0 and  2x+k2 y −1 = 0 are at right angles if

  • Question 2
    2 / -0.83

    A line is equally inclined to the axis and the length of perpendicular from the origin upon the line is  √2. A possible equation of the line is

    Solution

    Since the line is equally inclined the slope of the line should be -1, because it makes 135o in the positive direction of the X axis
    This implies the equation of the line is y= -x +c  
    i.e; x+y - c =0
    distance of the line from the origin is given as √2
    Therefore √2 = |c|/(√12 +12 )
    This implies c = 2
    Hence the equation of the line is x+y=2

  • Question 3
    2 / -0.83

    The lines y = mx , y + 2x = 0 , y = 2x + λ and y = - mx + λ form a rhombus if m =

    Solution

    Given Lines:-
    L1 : y=mx
    L2: y+2x=0
    L3 : y=2x+k  
    L4 : y+mx=k
    To form a rhombus, opposite sides must be parallel to each other.
    ∵Slopes of parallel lines are always equal
    L1 ∥L3
    L2 ∥L4

    Therefore,m = 2

  • Question 4
    2 / -0.83

    Two points (a , 0) and (0 , b) are joined by a straight line. Another point on this line is

    Solution

    Equation of line x/a + y/b = 1
    Given that (a,0) and (0,b) lie on a straight line.
    We know that a straight line is represented by y = mx + c
    Substituting co-ordinates in equation, we get
    (1) 0 = am+c
    (2) b=a(0)+c = c
    ⇒m = −b/a, c = b
    ∴Equation of line is ay=ab −bx
    Substituting options we see that (3a,−2b) lies on this line.

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.83

    The coordinates of the foot of perpendicular from (0 , 0) upon the line x + y = 2 are

    Solution

    Let the perpendicular line of x+y=2 is y −x=λ
    It passes through (0,0), then λ=0
    ∴y −x=0
    The point of intersection of y −x=0 and x+y=2 is (1,1), which is the required coordinates.

  • Question 6
    2 / -0.83

    The area of the triangle whose sides are along the lines x = 0 , y = 0 and 4x + 5y = 20 is

  • Question 7
    2 / -0.83

    A line is drawn through the points (3 , 4) and (5 , 6) . If the is extended to a point whose ordinate is –1, then the abscissa of that point is

    Solution

    Equation of line is (y-4)/(x-3) = (6-4)/(5-3)
    y - 4 = x - 3
    =>x - y + 1 = 0
    Let abscissa of the point is a  
    :. (a, -1) should satisfy the equation  
    :. a- (-1) + 1 = 0  
    a = - 2

  • Question 8
    2 / -0.83

    The line x + y –6 = 0 is the right bisector of the segment [PQ]. If P is the point (4, 3) , then the point Q is

    Solution

    Given, the line equation : x+y −6=0 .....(i) 
    Co-ordinates of P are (4,3)
    Let the co-ordinates of Q be (x,y) 
    Now, the slope of the given line is  
    y = 6-x
    slope m = -1
    So, the slope of PQ will be −1/m
    ​[As the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is −1]
    Slope of PQ = -1/(-1) = 1
    R lies on x + y - 6 = 0
    (a+4)/2 + (b+3)/2 - 6 = 0
    =>a + 4 + b + 3 - 12 = 0
    =>a + b - 5 = 0.......(1)
    Slope of LM = slope of PQ = -1
    = -(1) * (b-3)/(a-4) = -1
    = (b-3)/(a-4) = 1
    = b-3 = a-4
    =>a-b-1 = 0...............(2)
    Solving (1) and (2), we get
    a = 3, b = 2

  • Question 9
    2 / -0.83

    The acute angle between the lines ax + by + c = 0 and (a + b)x = (a –b)y, a  ≠b, is

    Solution

    ax + by + c = 0 and (a + b)x = (a –b)y  
    m1 = -a/b,   m2 = (a+b)/(a-b)
    tanx = [(m1 -m2 )/(1+m1 ×m2 )]
    =>{(-a/b)- (a+b)/(a-b)}/{1+(-a/b)[(a+b)/(a-b)]}
    =>{-a2 +ab-ab-b2 }/{b(a-b)} * {ba-b2 -a2 -ab}/{b(a-b)}
    =>(-a2 -b2 )/{1/(-a2 -b2 )
    tanx = 1
    x = tan-1(1)
    Angle = 45o

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.83

    The lines x + 2y –3 = 0, 2x + y –3 = 0 and the line l are concurrent. If the line I passes through the origin, then its equation is

    Solution

  • Question 11
    2 / -0.83

    The triangle formed by the lines x + y = 1, 2x + 3y –6 = 0 and 4x –y + 4 = 0 lies in

    Solution

    We have,

    x+y=1......(1)

    2x+3y=6......(2)

    4x −y=−4......(3)

    From equation (1) and (2) to and we get,

    (x+y=1)×2

    2x+3y=6

    2x+2y=2

    2x+3y=6

    On subtracting and we get,

    y=4 put in (1) and we get,

    2x+2y=2

    2x+2(4)=2

    2x+8=2

    2x=−6

    x=−3




    Hence, this is the answer.

  • Question 12

    Solution

  • Question 14
    2 / -0.83

    The lines ix + my + n = 0 , mx + ny + l = 0 and nx + ly +m = 0 are concurrent if

    Solution

    Suppose we have three straight lines whose equations are:
    a ₁x + b ₁y + c ₁= 0,
    a ₂x + b ₂y + c ₂= 0
    a ₃x + b ₃y + c ₃= 0.
    These lines are said to be concurrent if the following condition holds:
    Determinant of
    a ₁  b ₁  c ₁
    a ₂  b ₂  c ₂ =  0
    a ₃  b ₃  c ₃
    Now
    l     m   n  
    m   n    l   =  0
    n    l    m
    l(nm - l ²) - m(m ²- nl) + n(ml - n ²) = 0
    lmn - l ³- m ³+ lmn + lmn - n ³= 0
    l ³+ m ³+ n ³= 3lmn
    this condition true if an only if
    l + m + n = 0

  • Question 15
    2 / -0.83

    The equations of the lines through (- 1 , - 1) and making angles of  450 with the line x + y = 0 are

  • Question 16
    2 / -0.83

    Given the 4 lines with equations x + 2y –3 = 0, 2x + 3y –4 = 0, 3x + 4y –5 = 0, 4x + 5y –6 = 0 , then these lines are

    Solution

     x + 2y –3 = 0,(1)
     2x + 3y –4 = 0,(2)
     3x + 4y –5 = 0,(3) 
    4x + 5y –6 = 0,(4)
     Solving equation (1) and (2), we get
     3x + 6y −9 = 0 [Multiplying (1) by 3] 
    3x + 4y −7 = 0  
     ⇒2y −2 = 0  
     y = 1  
    Putting value of y in (1), we get  
    x + 2 −3 = 0  
    x = 1  
    The point (1, 1) lies on 3x + 4y −7 = 0 but not on 2x + 3y −4 = 0 and 4x + 5y −6 = 0.
    Hence, they are neither concurrent, nor they can form a quadrilateral nor parallel.

    The locus of the equation xy = 0 is

    Solution

    xy = 0
    either x = 0,y=some constant or y = 0,x = some constant
    So it will be a pair of perpendicular lines.
