A Correct answer
Explanation
From given conditions, we have,
$x=2+4 \cos \theta $
$x-2=4\cos \theta$           .......(1)
$y=-1+4\sin \theta$
$y+1=4 \sin \theta$           .......(2)
Squaring and adding equation 1 and 2, we get,
$(x-2)^2+(y+1)^2=16$.

The equation of a line which passes through (2,3) and the product of whose intercepts on the coordinate axis is 27, can be

  1. 5x+4y=22

  2. 3x-y=3

  3. 3x+4y=18

  4. 2x+3y=13
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Let the equation of the line is $\dfrac{x}{a}+\dfrac{y}{b}=1$
$\dfrac{2}{a}+\dfrac{3}{b}=1$

$2b+3a=ab$
$3a+2b=27$
$ab=27$
$b=\dfrac{27}{a}$
$3a+2\times \dfrac{27}{a}=27$
$3a^2+54=27a$
$3a^2-27a+54=0$
$a^2-9a+18=0$
$(a-6)(a-3)=0$
$a=6,3$
$b=\dfrac{9}{2}$ or $9$
Required equation is
$\dfrac{x}{6}+\dfrac{y}{\dfrac{9}{2}}=1 \implies 3x+4y=18$
Or,
$\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{y}{9}=1 \implies 3x+y=9$

If the straight lines joining the origin and the points of intersection of the curve
$ {5x}^{2} + 12xy-{6y}^{2} +4x -2y+3 =0$ and $x+ky-1=0 $ are equally inclined to the co ordinate axis,then the  value of k-

  1. is equal to 1

  2. is equal to -1

  3. is equal to 2

  4. does not exist in the set of real numbers

B Correct answer
Explanation

For the lines to be equally inclined to the axes, the combined equation of the pair of lines must have the coefficient of xy equal to zero (if inclined at 45 degrees) or the lines must be y = x and y = -x. Solving for k leads to the condition k = -1.

If the line $AX+BY=1$ passes through point of intersection of $y=x\tan\alpha+p\sec\alpha$,$y\sin(30-\alpha)-x\cos(30^ {o}-\alpha)=p$ and is inclined at $30^ {o}$ with $y=(x\tan\alpha+p\sec\alpha)$ then the value of $a^ {2}+b^ {2}=?$

  1. $\dfrac {1}{p^ {2}}$
  2. $\dfrac {2}{p^ {2}}$
  3. $\dfrac {3}{2p^ {2}}$
  4. $\dfrac {3}{4p^ {2}}$

A Correct answer
Explanation

The intersection point of the given lines involves parameters p and alpha. By calculating the intersection and applying the condition of inclination, the sum of squares of coefficients A and B simplifies to 1/p^2.

Find the equation of the straight line whose $x$ and $y$-intercepts on the axes are given by $2$ and $3$.
  1. $3x-2y+6=0$
  2. $3x+2y-6=0$
  3. $3x-2y-6=0$

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Consider the given points.

$(2, 0)$ and $(0, 3)$

We know that the equation of the line which is passing through the points
$y-y _1=\dfrac{y _2-y _1}{x _2-x _1}(x-x _1)$

So,

$y-0=\dfrac{3-0}{0-2}(x-2)$

$y=\dfrac{3}{-2}(x-2)$

$-2y=3x-6$

$3x+2y-6=0$

Hence, Option $B$ is the answer.

The focal chord to $y^{2}=16 x$ is tangent to $(x-6)^{2}+y^{2}=2$, then the possible values of the slope of this chord are:

  1. {-1,1}

  2. {-2,2}

  3. {-2,1/2}

  4. (2,-1/2}
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A focal chord of y^2 = 16x passes through (4, 0). The line y - 0 = m(x - 4) is tangent to (x-6)^2 + y^2 = 2. Using the distance from center (6, 0) to the line mx - y - 4m = 0 equal to radius sqrt(2) yields m^2 = 1.
