business maths pair of straight lines condition for perpendicular and coincident lines and bisectors of angles pair of straight lines through origin analytical geometry

  1. all real values of $d$

  2. two real values of $d$

  3. three real values of $d$

  4. no real value of $d$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let $m _{ 1 },{ m } _{ 2 },{ m } _{ 3 }$ be the slopes of the three lines represnted by the given equation such that ${ m } _{ 1 }{ m } _{ 2 }=-1$


We have $\displaystyle m _{ 1 }{ m } _{ 2 }{ m } _{ 3 }=-\frac { 1 }{ d } $ so that 

$\displaystyle { m } _{ 3 }=\frac { 1 }{ d } $

Since $y={ m } _{ 3 }x\Rightarrow x=dy$ satisfies the given equation, we get

${ d }^{ 3 }-6{ d }^{ 2 }+3d+d=0\Rightarrow d\left( { d }^{ 2 }-6d+4 \right) =0$

If $d=0,$ the given equation represents the line $x=0$ and $x^2-6xy+3y^2=0$ which are not perpendicular

$\therefore d\neq 0$ and $\displaystyle d^2-6d+4=0\Rightarrow d=\frac { 6\pm \sqrt { 36-16 }  }{ 2 } =3\pm \sqrt { 5 } $

which gives two real values of $d$

business maths pair of straight lines condition for perpendicular and coincident lines and bisectors of angles pair of straight lines through origin analytical geometry

  1. two values of $a$

  2. for all values of $a$

  3. for one value of $a$

  4. for no value of $a$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$3ax^2+5xy+(a^2-2)y^2=0$   are perpendicular to each other


$\therefore$ coefficient of $x^2+ $coefficient of $y^2=0$

$\Rightarrow 3a+a^2-2=0$

$\Rightarrow a^2+3a-2=0$


$\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+8}}{2}$

so $a=\dfrac{-3+\sqrt{17}}{2}$ and $a=\dfrac{-3-\sqrt{17}}{2}$

Let $\Delta$ PQR be a right angled isoceles triangle which is right angled at $P(2,1)$. lf the equation of the line OR is $2x+y=3$, then the equation representing the pair of lines PQ and PR is 

business maths pair of straight lines condition for perpendicular and coincident lines and bisectors of angles pair of straight lines through origin analytical geometry

  1. $3x^{2}-3y^{2}+8xy+20x+10y+25=0$

  2. $3x^{2}-3y^{2}+8xy-20x-10y+25=0$

  3. $3x^{2}-3y^{2}+8xy-10x+15y+20=0$

  4. $3x^{2}-3y^{2}+8xy-10x-15y+20=0$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles, and right angled at P, therefore 
$PQ=PR$
And 
$PQ$ is perpendicular to $PR$.
The the combined equation of both PQ and PR should be of the form,
$ax^{2}-ay^{2}+bxy+cx+dy+e=0$
Since they are perpendicular and the coefficients of $x^{2}$ and $y^{2}$ will be equal and opposite.
Now the point P must satisfy the equation.
From the above options, the point P (2,1) only satisfies the equation in Option B.
Hence the correct Option is B.

business maths pair of straight lines condition for perpendicular and coincident lines and bisectors of angles pair of straight lines through origin analytical geometry

  1. $400$

  2. $200$

  3. $100$

  4. $50$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given line 
$y=x+3-----(1)$
$y=2x+4-----(2)$
By shiftiing centroid to origin 
Thus now equation of median are $y=x$ and $y=2x$ 
Now the coordinates of A and B can be taken as $(a,a)$ and $B(b,2b)$
Using centroif formula $C(-a-b,-a-2b)$
Length of hypotenuse $AB=60$
$AB^2=(a-b)^2+(a-2b)^2$
$3600=a^2+b^2-2ab+a^2+4b^2-4ab$
$2a^2+5b^2-6ab=3600---(3)$
Slope of line AC from point $A,C$ is $m _{AC}=\dfrac{-a-2b-a}{-a-b-a}$
$m _{AC}=\dfrac{2a+2b}{2a+b}$
Slope of line BC from point $B,C$ is $m _{BC}=\dfrac{-a-2b-2b}{-a-b-b}$
$m _{BC}=\dfrac{a+3b}{a+2b}$
Angle $C=90$ means line AC and BC are perpendicular 
Hence $m _{AC}m _{BC}=-1$
$\dfrac{2a+2b}{2a+b}\times \dfrac{a+3b}{a+2b}=-1$
$2a^2+6ab+2ab+6b^2=-2a^2-4ab-ab-2b^2$
$4a^2+8b^2+13ab=0--------(4)$
Solving both $(3)$ and $(4)$ equations we get 
$ab=-\dfrac{800}{3}$
$Area of traingle=\dfrac{3}{2}(ab)=400$

The straight line joining the origin to the other two points of intersection of the curve whose equations are $\displaystyle ax^{2}+2hxy+2gx+by^{2}=0: : and: : a'x^{2}+2h'xy+b'y^{2}+2g'x=0$ will be at right angle if

  1. $g(a' + b') - g'(a + b) = 0$

  2. $gg' = a'b' - ab$

  3. $g - g' = (a - b) (a' - b')$

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given eq of curves 
$ax^2+2hxy+2gx+by^2=0$----(1)
$a'x^2+2h'xy+2g'x+b'y^2=0$----(2)
$1=\dfrac{a'x^2+2h'xy+b'y^2}{-2g'x}$
Putting in eq (1)
$ax^2+2hxy+2gx\left ( \dfrac{a'x^2+2h'xy+b'y^2}{-2g'x} \right )+by^2=0$
$ax^2+2hxy-g\left ( \dfrac{a'x^2+2h'xy+b'y^2}{g'} \right )+by^2=0$
$ag'x^2+2hg'xy-ga'x^2-2gh'xy-gb'y^2+bg'y^2=0$
$x^2(ag'-a'g)+y^2(bg'-b'g)+2xy(hg'-gh')=0$
Here by perpendicularlly 
$ag'-a'g+bg'-b'g=0$
$(a+b)g'-g(a'+b')=0$
$g(a'+b')-g'(a+b)=0$

Which of the following pairs of straight lines intersect at right angles ?

business maths pair of straight lines condition for perpendicular and coincident lines and bisectors of angles pair of straight lines through origin analytical geometry

  1. $\displaystyle 2x^{2}=y\left ( x+2y \right ) $

  2. $\displaystyle \left ( x+y \right )^{2}=x\left ( y+3x \right )$

  3. $\displaystyle 2y\left ( x+y \right )=xy$

  4. $\displaystyle x=\pm 2y$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For pair of straight lines, lines are perpendicular if $a+b=0$ (where $a$ is the coefficient of $x^2$ and $b$ is the coefficient of $y^2$ )

For option A,
$\displaystyle 2x^{2}=y\left ( x+2y \right ) $
$\Rightarrow 2x^{2}-xy-2y^{2}$
Here, $a+b=0$
Hence, the pair of straight lines intersect at right angles

For Option B,
$(x+y)^{2}=x(y+3x)$
$\Rightarrow -2x^{2}+xy+y^{2}=0$
$a+b \ne 0$ 

For Option C,
 $2y(x+y)=xy$
$\Rightarrow xy+2{y}^{2}=0$
$a+b \ne 0$ 

For Option D, $y=\pm 2x$
Clearly lines are not perpendicular.
