- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Equation of all lines parallel to
Any line parallel to has the form for some constant .
- Use the distance from origin condition
Distance of the point from the line is
Given distance is , so Hence the required lines are and
- Check which option lies on any of these lines
A point lies on one of these lines if
Option A:
Not equal to .
Option B:
This satisfies , so it lies on
Option C:
Not equal to .
Option D:
Not equal to .
- Conclusion
The point that lies on one of the required lines is which is Option B.
