So pair of lines is `2x^(2)+5xy +2y^(2) +4x +5y +2 =0`
or `x +2y +1 = 0, 2x +y +2 =0`
These lines are concurrent with `bx +y +5 =0`
If `|{:(1,2,1),(2,1,2),(b,1,5):}| =0`

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.D. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
Put `2h=-(a+b)`in`ax^(2)+2hxy+by^(2)=0`. Then ,
`ax^(2)-(a+b)xy+by^(2)=0`
or `(x-y)(ax-by)=0`
Therefore , one of the lines bisects the angle between the coordinates axes in the positive quadrant. Also , putting
`b=-2h-a` in `ax-by` ,we have
`ax-by=ax-(-2h-a)y=ax+(2h+a)y`
Hence , `ax+(2h+a)y` is a factor of `ax^(2)+2hxy+by^(2)` . However, statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.

`2x^(2)-10xy+12y^(2)+5x-16y-3`
`-=(2x-6y+A)(x-2y+B)`
Comparing coefficients , we get
`A=-1,B=3`
Hence , the lines are
`2x-6y-1=0and x-2y+3=0` Solving , we get the intersection points as `(-10,-7//2)`. Therefore , Product `=35`

The straight lines represented by `(y-mx)^(2)=a^(2)(1+m^(2))and(y-nx)^(2)=a^(2)(1+n^(2))`form aA. rectangleB. rhombusC. trepeziumD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
The straight lines represented by `(y-mx)^(2)=a^(2)(1+m^(2))` are
`y-mx=+-asqrt(1+m^(2))`
i.e., `y-mx=asqrt(1+m^(2))` (1)
and `y-mx=-asqrt(1+m^(2))` (2)
Similarly , the straight lines representd by `(y-nx)^(2)=a^(2)(1+n^(2))` are
`y-nx=asqrt(1+n^(2))` (3)
and ` y-nx=-asqrt(1+n^(2))` (4)
Since the lines (1) and (2) are parallel , the distance between thems is
`|(asqrt(1+m^(2))+asqrt(1+m^(2)))/(sqrt(1+m^(2)))| =|2a|`
Similarly , the lines (3) and (4) are parallel lines and the distance between them is `|2a|` . Since the distances between parallel lines are the same , the four lines form a rhombus.

The equation `x-y=4 and x^2+4xy+y^2=0` represent the sides ofA. an equilateral triangleB. a right - angled triangleC. an isosceles triangleD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - 1
Acute angle between the linens `x^(2)+4xy+y^(2)=0` is
`tan^(-1){(2sqrt(4-1))//(1+1)}=tan^(-1)sqrt(3)=pi//3`. the angle bisectors of `x^(2)+4xy+y^(2)=0`are given by
`(x^(2)-y^(2))/(1-1)=(xy)/(2)`
or `x^(2)-y^(2)=0orx=+-y`
As `x+y=0` is perpendicular to `x-y=4` , the given triangle is isosceles with vertical angle equal to `pi//3`. Hence , it is an equilateral triangle.

or `m=1,-1`
The point of intersection of the pair of lines are obtained by solving
`(partialS)/(partial x)-=2x+my=0and (partialS)/(partialy)-=mx-4y+3=0`
When `m=1`, the required point is the intersection of `2x+y=0,x-4y+3=0` When `m=-1`, the reqired point is the intersection of `2x-y=0,-x4y+3=0`.

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
The given pair of lines is
`135x^(2)-136xy+33y^(2)=0` (1)
the equation of bisectors of angles between the pairs of lines (1) is
`(x^(2)-y^(2))/(a-b)=(xy)/(h)or(x^(2)-y^(2))/(135-33)=(xy)/(-68)`
or `2x^(2)+3xy-2y^(2)=0`(2)

or `(x+7y)^(2)+7sqrt(2)(x+7y)-3sqrt(2)(x+7y)-42=0`
or `(x+7y)[x+7y+7sqrt(2)]-3sqrt(2)(x+7y+7sqrt(2))=0`
or `(x+7y+7sqrt(2))(x+7y-3sqrt(2))=0`
or `x+7y+7sqrt(2)=0andx+7y-3sqrt(2)=0`
or `d=|(7sqrt(2)+2sqrt(2))/(sqrt(1+49))|=(10sqrt(2))/(sqrt(50))=2`

If the line passing through `P(1,2)` making an angle `45^(@)` with the x-axis in the positive direction meets the pair of lines `x^(2) +4xy +y^(2) = 0` at A and B then `PA. PB =`A. `13//3`B. `13//6`C. `11//6`D. `11//3`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Any point at distance r from the point `P(1,2)` on the line making an angle `45^(@)` with the x-axis is `(1+(r )/(sqrt(2)),2+(r )/(sqrt(2)))`
Solving this point with the given pair of lines `x^(2)+4xy +y^(2) =0`,
we get `3r^(2) +9sqrt(2)r +13 =0`
Product of roots `r_(1)r_(2) = 13//3`

A line passes through (2,0). Then which of the following is not the slope of the line, for which its intercept between `y=x-1` and `y=-x+1` subtends a right angle at the origin?A. `-(1)/(sqrt(3))`B. `-sqrt(3)`C. `(1)/(sqrt(3))`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The joint equation of straight line `y = x -1` and `y =- x +1` is
`(x-y-1) (x+y-1) =0`
`rArr x^(2) -y^(2) -2x +1 =0` (i)
Let equation of line passes through (2,0) is
`y = m (x-2)`
By homogenizing equation (i) with help of line (ii), we get
`x^(2)-y^(2)-2x ((mx-y)/(2m)) +((mx-y)/(2m))^(2) =0`
This is pair of straight line through origin. Since these lines are perpendicular,
Coefficiennt of `x^(2) +` coefficient of `y^(2) =0`
`rArr m = +- (1)/(sqrt(3))`
