JEE MainMathematicsStraight Lines and Pair of Straight LinesMCQ+4 / −1
A ray of light coming from the point gets reflected from the point on the -axis and then passes through the point . If the point is such that is a parallelogram, then is equal to:
- A60
- B70
- C80
- D90

Correct answer: B
- Use the reflection property on the -axis
A ray comes from , reflects at a point on the -axis, and then passes through .
For reflection from the -axis, reflect the point across the -axis to Then the reflected path is equivalent to the straight line path So is the point where the line joining and meets the -axis.
- Find the equation of line
Slope of the line through and is
Equation through :
Since lies on the -axis, . Hence So,
Therefore,
- Use the parallelogram condition
If is a parallelogram with vertices in order, then diagonals bisect each other, or equivalently Thus,
Now, So
=\left(5-\frac{11}{5},5\right) =\left(\frac{14}{5},5\right).$$ Hence, $$h=\frac{14}{5},\quad k=5.$$ --- 4. **Compute $hk^2$** $$hk^2=\frac{14}{5}\cdot 5^2 =\frac{14}{5}\cdot 25 =14\cdot 5=70.$$ --- 5. **Match with the options** $$hk^2=70.$$ So the correct option is **B**.More from Straight Lines and Pair of Straight Lines
