JEE MainMathematicsStraight Lines and Pair of Straight LinesMCQ+4 / −1
A line, with the slope greater than one, passes through the point and intersects the line at the point B. If the length of the line segment is , then also lies on the line :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Given data
- Point
- Point lies on the line
- Length
- The line through and has slope greater than .
We need to find the coordinates of , then check which option it satisfies.
- Let coordinates of be
Since lies on , let
- Use distance formula
Distance between and is
Given so
Hence,
Expand:
Multiply by :
Solve:
So,
Thus possible points are:
- Use the slope condition
Slope of line through and is
For :
m=\frac{\frac{11}{3}-3}{\frac{17}{3}-4}=rac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}=\frac{2}{5}<1 Not allowed.
For :
m=\frac{\frac{4}{3}-3}{\frac{10}{3}-4}=rac{-\frac{5}{3}}{-\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{5}{2}>1 Allowed.
So,
- Check the options
Option A:
False.
Option B:
False.
Option C:
True.
Option D:
False.
- Final answer
The point lies on So the correct option is C.
