JEE MainMathematicsStraight Lines and Pair of Straight LinesMCQ+4 / −1
The straight lines l1\mathrm{l_{1}}l1​ and l2\mathrm{l_{2}}l2​ pass through the origin and trisect the line segment of the line L : 9x+5y=459 x+5 y=459x+5y=45 between the axes.

Correct answer: C

  1. Find the intercepts of L:9x+5y=45L: 9x+5y=45L:9x+5y=45.

    • On the xxx-axis, y=0y=0y=0: 9x=45⇒x=59x=45 \Rightarrow x=59x=45⇒x=5 So one endpoint is (5,0)(5,0)(5,0).

    • On the yyy-axis, x=0x=0x=0: 5y=45⇒y=95y=45 \Rightarrow y=95y=45⇒y=9 So the other endpoint is (0,9)(0,9)(0,9).

    Thus, the line segment between the axes is the segment joining (5,0)(5,0)(5,0) and (0,9)(0,9)(0,9).

  2. Find the trisection points of this segment.

    A point dividing the segment from (5,0)(5,0)(5,0) to (0,9)(0,9)(0,9) in the ratio 1:21:21:2 is (2⋅5+1⋅03,2⋅0+1⋅93)=(103,3).\left(\frac{2\cdot 5+1\cdot 0}{3},\frac{2\cdot 0+1\cdot 9}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{10}{3},3\right).(32⋅5+1⋅0​,32⋅0+1⋅9​)=(310​,3).

    The other trisection point dividing in the ratio 2:12:12:1 is (1⋅5+2⋅03,1⋅0+2⋅93)=(53,6).\left(\frac{1\cdot 5+2\cdot 0}{3},\frac{1\cdot 0+2\cdot 9}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{5}{3},6\right).(31⋅5+2⋅0​,31⋅0+2⋅9​)=(35​,6).

  3. Since l1l_1l1​ and l2l_2l2​ pass through the origin and these trisection points, their slopes are:

    m1=310/3=910,m2=65/3=185.m_1=\frac{3}{10/3}=\frac{9}{10}, \qquad m_2=\frac{6}{5/3}=\frac{18}{5}.m1​=10/33​=109​,m2​=5/36​=518​.

  4. Compute m1+m2m_1+m_2m1​+m2​.

    m1+m2=910+185=910+3610=4510=92.m_1+m_2=\frac{9}{10}+\frac{18}{5}=\frac{9}{10}+\frac{36}{10}=\frac{45}{10}=\frac{9}{2}.m1​+m2​=109​+518​=109​+1036​=1045​=29​.

    So the required line is y=(m1+m2)x=92x.y=\left(m_1+m_2\right)x=\frac{9}{2}x.y=(m1​+m2​)x=29​x.

  5. Find its intersection with L:9x+5y=45L: 9x+5y=45L:9x+5y=45.

    Substitute y=92xy=\frac{9}{2}xy=29​x into 9x+5y=459x+5y=459x+5y=45: 9x+5(92x)=459x+5\left(\frac{9}{2}x\right)=459x+5(29​x)=45 9x+452x=459x+\frac{45}{2}x=459x+245​x=45 18+452x=45\frac{18+45}{2}x=45218+45​x=45 632x=45\frac{63}{2}x=45263​x=45 x=9063=107.x=\frac{90}{63}=\frac{10}{7}.x=6390​=710​.

    Then y=92⋅107=457.y=\frac{9}{2}\cdot \frac{10}{7}=\frac{45}{7}.y=29​⋅710​=745​.

    So the intersection point is (107,457).\left(\frac{10}{7},\frac{45}{7}\right).(710​,745​).

  6. Check which option passes through (107,457)\left(\frac{10}{7},\frac{45}{7}\right)(710​,745​).

    • A: 6x−y=156x-y=156x−y=15 6⋅107−457=60−457=157≠156\cdot \frac{10}{7}-\frac{45}{7}=\frac{60-45}{7}=\frac{15}{7}\neq 156⋅710​−745​=760−45​=715​=15 Not correct.

    • B: 6x+y=106x+y=106x+y=10 6⋅107+457=1057=15≠106\cdot \frac{10}{7}+\frac{45}{7}=\frac{105}{7}=15\neq 106⋅710​+745​=7105​=15=10 Not correct.

    • C: y−x=5y-x=5y−x=5 457−107=357=5\frac{45}{7}-\frac{10}{7}=\frac{35}{7}=5745​−710​=735​=5 Correct.

    • D: y−2x=5y-2x=5y−2x=5 457−2⋅107=257≠5\frac{45}{7}-2\cdot \frac{10}{7}=\frac{25}{7}\neq 5745​−2⋅710​=725​=5 Not correct.

  7. Therefore, the correct option is C: y−x=5.\boxed{\text{C: } y-x=5}.C: y−x=5​.
