QUESTION: 1

Angles made with the x - axis by two lines drawn through the point (1, 2) and cutting the line x + y = 4 at a distance from the point (1,2) are

Solution:

Let P≡(1,2) 
Using the parametric form ,  the coordinates of the point at a distance of (2/3)^1/2 is given by, 
(1+(2/3)^1/2cosθ, 2+(2/3)^1/2 sinθ)
This point lies on the line  x+y=4
Hence, 
3+(2/3)^1/2(sinθ+cosθ)=4
On squaring and simplifying, we get
sin^2θ+cos^2θ+2sinθcosθ=3/2
1+sin2θ=3/2
sin2θ=1/2
The possible values of θ are π/12 and 5π/12

QUESTION: 2

Consider a family of straight lines (x + y) + λ(2x - y + 1) = 0. Find the equation of the straight line belonging to this family that is farthest from (1, -3)

Solution:

Correct Answer :- A

Explanation : Consider a family of straight lines.   

(x+y)+λ(2x−y+1)=0

This family consists of two lines:  

x+y=0   and  2x−y+1=0

Add the two equations to get,    

3x+1 = 0  

3x = −1         

x= −1/3

Put this value in x+y=0    

−1/3 + y = 0         

y = 1/3

So we have (x,y) = A(−1/3, 1/3)

Let the given point be B(1,−3)

Note that the required line is perpendicular to line AB.

The slope of the line AB is,

m1 = (−3−1/3)/(1+1/3)

= -10/4

m1 = - 5/2

So the slope of the required line is,   m2 = −1/m1 

= −1/(−5/2)

= 2/5

Use point slope form to find the required equation of line.    

y − y1 = m2(x − x1)    

(y−1/3) = 2/5(x+1/3)    

(3y−1) = 2/5(3x+1)   

5(3y−1) = 2(3x+1)   

15y−5=6x+2  

15y−6x−7=0

So the required equation of line is,  

15y − 6x − 7 = 0

QUESTION: 3

One side of an equilateral triangle is 3x+4y=7 and its vertex is (1,2). Then the length of the side of the triangle is

Solution:

Length of the perpendicular from
(x1,y1) to the line ax+by+c=0 is 
p= (ax1+by1+c)/[(a)2 + (b)2]1/2| 
Let a be the length of each side of the equilateral triangle. 
The length of the perpendicular p from (1,2) on 3x+4y−9=0
⇒p= |(3+8−7)/[(3)2 + (4)2]1/2|
= 4/5
sin60∘=p/a
⇒ [(3)1/2]/2 = [(4/5)]/a 
⇒  a = (2)/(3)1/2 = 4/5
a = [8/5(3)1/2]

QUESTION: 4

Solution:

Point of intersection (-2,1) and verification

QUESTION: 5

The acute angle bisector between the lines 3x-4y-5 = 0, 5x+12y-26 = 0 is
Solution:

a1a2 +b1b2  = -32 < 0, c1c2 = 130 > 0

QUESTION: 6

Find the equation of the bisector of the angle between the lines x+2y–11 = 0, 3x–6y–5 = 0 which contains the point (1,–3)
Solution:

Using formula given in synopsis

QUESTION: 7

A straight line which make equal intercepts on +ve x and y axes and which is at a distance '1' unit from the origin intersects the straight line y = 2x + 3 + √2 at (x0, y0) then 2x0 + y0
Solution:

Equation of the straight line having equal intercepts is x + y = k and proceed.

y0 = 2x + 3 + √2
x0 + y0 = √2.............(1)
x0 + 2x0 + 3 + √2 = √2
x0 = -1
Put the value of x in eq (1)
y0 = √2 - 1
2x0 + y0 = √2 - 1

QUESTION: 8

If P (1+t/√2, 2+t/√2) be any point on a line, then the range of the values of t for which the point p lies between the parallel lines x+2y = 1 and 2x + 4y = 15 is
Solution:

Given P (1 + t/√2, 2 + t/√2) lies on x + 2y = 1 

Then 1 + t/√2 + 2 (2 + t/√2) = 1

⇒  1 + t/√2 + 4 + 2t/√2 = 1

⇒ 5 + 3t/√2 = 1

⇒ 3t/√2 = -4

⇒ 3t = -4√2

⇒ t = -4√2/3

Also P lies on 2x + 4y = 15

Then, 2 (1 + t/√2) + 4 (2 + t/√2) = 15

⇒ 2 + 2t/√2 + 8 + 4t/√2 = 15

⇒ 10 + 6t/√2 = 15

⇒ 6t/√2 = 5

⇒ 6t = 5√2

⇒ t = 5√2/6

Hence, the range will be -4√2/3 < t < 5√2/6

 

 

QUESTION: 9

Solution:

 (x2 + 2xy secα + y2) = 0
(a=1) (h = secα) (b=1)
tanθ = 2[(h2- ab)]½/(a+b)
tanθ = 2[((secα)^2 - 1)]½/(1+1)
tanθ  = [(tan2)α]½
tanθ = tanα
⇒ θ = α

Solution:

x2 + 3xy - 4y2 = 0
a = 1, b=-4

= 2[(9/4 + 4)½]/(-3)
= [2(5/2)]/(-3)
tanθ = 5/3 which is (perpendicular/base)
sinθ = 5/[(5)2 + (3)2]
sinθ = 5/(34)½

QUESTION: 23

Solution:

Correct Answer :- a

Explanation : x2 + 4xy + 3y2 = 0

x2 + xy + 3xy + 3y2 = 0

x(x+y) + 3y(x+y) = 0

(x+3y) (x+y) = 0

Points (k,k)

d1 = |(k+k)/(2)1/2|

2k/(2)1/2

d2 = |(k+3k)/(1+9)1/2|

d2 = |4k/(10)1/2|

d1 * d2 = 4/(5)1/2

|(k+k)/(2)1/2| * |4k/(10)1/2| = 4/(5)1/2

|8k2/(20)1/2| = 4/(5)1/2

8k2/2(5)1/2 = 4/(5)1/2

k2 = +-1

QUESTION: 24

The value k such that 3x2 + 11xy + 10y2 + 7x + 13y + k = 0 represents a pair of straight lines is

Δ = 0

QUESTION: 25

Angle between the pair of lines 2x2 – 7xy + 3y2 + 3x + y – 2 = 0
Solution:

Here, a=2,b=3 and h=−72
Let θ be the angle between the lines represented by 2x2−7xy+3y2=0. Then ,
tanθ=(2√49/4−6)/5=1
⇒ θ = 45∘.
⇒ π/4

QUESTION: 26

If the angle between the pair of lines 2x2 + λxy + 3y2 + 8x + 14y + 8 = 0 is (π/4), then the value of λ is 
Solution:

2x2 + λxy + 3y2 + 8x + 14y + 8 = 0
ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
Compare eq (1) and (2), we get
a =2, b = 3, 2h = λ
tanθ=(2√h2 - ab)/(a+b)
=> tan(π/4) = [(2√(λ/2)2 - (2)(3))/(2+3)]
=> 1 = [(2√((λ)2)/4 - 6]/5
=> 5 = [(2√((λ)2)/4 - 6]
=> 25 = [4((λ)2)/4 - 6]
=> 25 = (λ)2 - 24
=> (λ)2 = 49
=> λ = +-7

Solution:
QUESTION: 28

The equation to the pair of lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of y = x + 3 and 2x2 + 2y2 = 1 is
Solution:

Here x is a complex number. So circle and line does not intersect. So there is no solution

QUESTION: 29

Solution:


(P + q + r) (p2 + q2 + r2 - pq - qr - rp) = 0

QUESTION: 30

If the lines 3x + 2y – 5 = 0, 2x – 5y + 3 = 0, 5x + by + c = 0 are concurrent then b + c =
Solution:

We know that concurrent lines have same intersection points.Then
∴ 3x+2y−5=0 --(1)
2x−5y+3=0 ---(2)
5x+by+c=0 ---(3)
From 1 & 2,
6x+4y−10=0  
6x−15y+9=0 
⇒19y−19=0
y=1 & x=1
So, substituting  x=1 & y=1, in equation (3),
5x+by+c=0
5+b+c = 0
∴ b+c = −5
