Two lines represented by the equation $${x^2} - {y^2} - 2x + 1 = 0$$ are rotated about the point $$\left( {1,\,0} \right),$$ the line making the bigger angle with the positive direction of the $$x$$-axis being turned by $${45^ \circ }$$ in the clockwise sense and the other line being turned by $${15^ \circ }$$ in the anticlockwise sense. The combined equation of the pair of lines in their new positions is :
A
$$\sqrt 3 {x^2} - xy + 2\sqrt 3 x - y + \sqrt 3 = 0$$
B
$$\sqrt 3 {x^2} - xy - 2\sqrt 3 x + y + \sqrt 3 = 0$$
C
$$\sqrt 3 {x^2} - xy - 2\sqrt 3 x + \sqrt 3 = 0$$
D
none of these
Answer :
$$\sqrt 3 {x^2} - xy - 2\sqrt 3 x + y + \sqrt 3 = 0$$
The combined equation is $$\left( {x + y - 1} \right)\left( {x - y - 1} \right) = 0.$$ After rotation, the lines are $$x = 1$$ and $$y = \sqrt 3 \left( {x - 1} \right).$$ So, the combined equation after rotation is $$\left( {x - 1} \right)\left( {\sqrt 3 x - y - \sqrt 3 } \right) = 0.$$

If a vertex of an equilateral triangle is the origin and the side opposite to it has the equation $$x+y=1$$ then the orthocenter of the triangle is :
A
$$\left( {\frac{1}{3},\,\frac{1}{3}} \right)$$
B
$$\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{3},\,\frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{3}} \right)$$
In an equilateral triangle the orthocenter and the centroid are the same.
$$OPQ$$ is the equilateral triangle in which $$OC \bot PQ.$$
Clearly, the point $$H$$ which divides $$OC$$ internally in the ratio 2 : 1 is the orthocenter.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Clearly, }}OC = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}{\text{.}}\,\,{\text{So,}}\,\,OH = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} \cr
& \therefore H = \left( {\frac{2}{{3\sqrt 2 }}\cos \,{{45}^ \circ },\frac{2}{{3\sqrt 2 }}\sin \,{{45}^ \circ }} \right) \cr} $$

A straight line through the origin $$O$$ meets the parallel lines $$4x + 2y = 9$$ and $$2x + y + 6 = 0$$ at points $$P$$ and $$Q,$$ respectively. Then the point $$O$$ divides the segment $$PQ$$ in the ratio :
Let any line through the origin meets the given lines at $$E$$ and $$F$$ as shown in figure
Now, from the figure, triangles $$OAE$$ and $$OCF$$ are similar.
Therefore,
$$\frac{{OE}}{{OF}} = \frac{{OA}}{{OC}} = \frac{{\frac{9}{4}}}{3} = \frac{3}{4}$$

Let $$P = \left( {1,\,1} \right)$$ and $$Q = \left( {3,\,2} \right).$$ The point $$R$$ on the $$x$$-axis such that $$PR+RQ$$ is the minimum is :
The point $$R$$ should be such that $$PR$$ is reflected along $$RQ$$ from the line $$y=0.$$
The equation of $$P'Q$$ ( where $$P'$$ is the image of $$P$$ ) is $$3x-2y=5.$$
$$R$$ is the point of intersection of $$y=0$$ and $$3x-2y=5.$$

Line $$L$$ has intercepts $$a$$ and $$b$$ on the coordinate axes. When the axes are rotated through a given angle, keeping the origin fixed, the same line $$L$$ has intercepts $$p$$ and $$q,$$ then-
A
$${a^2} + {b^2} = {p^2} + {q^2}$$
B
$$\frac{1}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{b^2}}} = \frac{1}{{{p^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{q^2}}}$$
C
$${a^2} + {p^2} = {b^2} + {q^2}$$
D
$$\frac{1}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{p^2}}} = \frac{1}{{{b^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{q^2}}}$$
As $$L$$ has intercepts $$a$$ and $$b$$ on axes, equation of $$L$$ is
$$\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1.....(1)$$
Let $$x$$ and $$y$$ axes be rotated through an angle $$\theta $$ in anticlockwise direction.
In new system intercepts are $$p$$ and $$q,$$ therefore equation of $$L$$ becomes
$$\frac{x}{p} + \frac{y}{q} = 1.....(2)$$ KEY CONCEPT : As the origin is fixed in rotation, the distance of line from origin in both the cases should be same.
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {\text{We get }}d = \left| {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {\frac{1}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{b^2}}}} }}} \right| = \left| {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {\frac{1}{{{p^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{q^2}}}} }}} \right| \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{b^2}}} = \frac{1}{{{p^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{q^2}}} \cr
& \therefore \,\,({\bf{B}})\,{\text{is the correct answer}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$

Two straight lines passing through the point $$A\left( {3,\,2} \right)$$ cut the line $$2y = x + 3$$ and $$x$$-axis perpendicularly at $$P$$ and $$Q$$ respectively. The equation of the line $$PQ$$ is :
$$\because $$ Coordinates of $$Q$$ are $$\left( {3,\,0} \right)$$ & it passes through $$PQ.$$
$$\therefore $$ Putting the values of $$\left( {x = 3} \right)\& \left( {y = 0} \right)$$ in options we get :
Equation of line $$PQ = 7x + y - 21 = 0$$

A square of side a lies above the $$x$$-axis and has one vertex at the origin. The side passing through the origin makes an angle $$\alpha \left( {0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$$ with the positive direction of $$x$$-axis. The equation of its diagonal not passing through the origin is-
138.
The coordinates of two consecutive vertices $$A$$ and $$B$$ of a regular hexagon $$ABCDEF$$ are $$\left( {1,\,0} \right)$$ and $$\left( {2,\,0} \right)$$ respectively. The equation of the diagonal $$CE$$ is :
For the concurrency of three lines,
$$\eqalign{
& a\left[ {\left( {m + 1} \right)b - \left( {m + 2} \right)c} \right] - ma\left( {b - c} \right) + \left( {m + 2} \right)bc - \left( {m + 1} \right)bc = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{c} - \frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{c} + \frac{1}{a} - \frac{2}{b} = 0 \cr
& \therefore \,\frac{1}{a},\,\frac{1}{b},\,\frac{1}{c}{\text{ are in A}}{\text{.P}}{\text{., for all }}m \cr
& \therefore \,a,\,b,\,c\,{\text{are in H}}{\text{.P}}{\text{., for all }}m. \cr} $$
