The range of value of $$\alpha $$ such that $$\left( {0,\,\alpha } \right)$$ lies on or inside the triangle formed by the lines $$y + 3x + 2 = 0,\,3y - 2x - 5 = 0,\,4y + x - 14 = 0\,{\text{is :}}$$
A
$${\text{5 < }}\alpha \leqslant 7$$
B
$$\frac{1}{2} \leqslant \alpha \leqslant 1$$
C
$$\frac{5}{3} \leqslant \alpha \leqslant \frac{7}{2}$$
Point $$\left( {0,\,\alpha } \right)$$ lies on the $$y$$-axis. In such questions, it is easier to see the location of point if lines are drawn on the axis.
From the diagram, it is clear that $$\frac{5}{3} \leqslant \alpha \leqslant \frac{7}{2}$$
22.
If $$\left( {a,\,{a^2}} \right)$$ falls inside the angle made by the lines $$y = \frac{x}{2},\,x > 0$$ and $$y = 3x,\,x > 0$$ then $$a$$ belong to-
Clearly from the figure, the origin is contained in the acute angle. Writing the equations of the lines as $$2x-y+4=0$$ and $$-x+2y+1=0,$$ the required bisector is $$\frac{{2x - y + 4}}{{\sqrt 5 }} = \frac{{ - x + 2y + 1}}{{\sqrt 5 }}.$$
24.
If $$\left( { - 4,\,5} \right)$$ is one vertex and $$7x - y + 8 = 0$$ is one diagonal of a square, then the equation of second diagonal is :
One vertex of square is $$\left( { - 4,\,5} \right)$$ and equation of one diagonal is $$7x - y + 8 = 0$$
Diagonal of a square are perpendicular and bisect each other.
Let the equation of the other diagonal be $$y = mx + c$$ where $$m$$ is the slope of the line and $$c$$ is the $$y$$-intercept.
Since this line passes through $$\left( { - 4,\,5} \right)$$
$$\therefore \,5 = - 4m + c......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Since this line is at right angle to the line $$7x - y + 8 = 0$$ or $$y = 7x + 8,$$ having slope $$ = 7,$$
$$\therefore \,7 \times m = - 1{\text{ or }}\,m = \frac{{ - 1}}{7}$$
Putting this value of m in equation $$\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$ we get $$C = \frac{{31}}{7}$$
Hence, equation of the other diagonal is $$y = - \frac{1}{7}x + \frac{{31}}{7}{\text{ or }}x + 7y = 31$$
25.
If the point $$P\left( {x,\,y} \right)$$ is equidistant from the points $$A\left( {a + b,\,b - a} \right)$$ and $$B\left( {a - b,\,a + b} \right)$$ then :
A
$$ax = by$$
B
$$bx = ay{\text{ and }}P{\text{ can be }}\left( {a,\,b} \right)$$
C
$${x^2} - {y^2} = 2\left( {ax + by} \right)$$
D
None of the above
Answer :
$$bx = ay{\text{ and }}P{\text{ can be }}\left( {a,\,b} \right)$$
26.
The centroid of the triangle whose three sides are given by the combined equation $$\left( {{x^2} + 7xy + 2{y^2}} \right)\left( {y - 1} \right) = 0$$ is :
A
$$\left( {\frac{2}{3},\,0} \right)$$
B
$$\left( {\frac{7}{3},\,\frac{2}{3}} \right)$$
C
$$\left( { - \frac{7}{3},\,\frac{2}{3}} \right)$$
The sides are $$y=1$$ and the pair $${x^2} + 7xy + 2{y^2} = 0.$$ Clearly, one vertex is $$\left( {0,\,0} \right)$$ and the y-coordinate of each of the other two vertices is 1. Putting $$y=1$$ in the second equation, we get $${x^2} + 7xy + 2 = 0.$$
If $${x_1},\,{x_2}$$ are the roots then $${x_1} + {x_2} = - 7.$$
$$\therefore $$ the centroid $$ = \left( {\frac{{0 + {x_1} + {x_2}}}{3},\,\frac{{0 + 1 + 1}}{3}} \right) = \left( { - \frac{7}{3},\,\frac{2}{3}} \right).$$
27.
The orthocenter of the triangle formed by the lines $$xy = 0$$ and $$x+y=1$$ is-
The lines by which $$\Delta $$ is formed are $$x = 0, \,y = 0$$ and
$$x+y=1.$$
Clearly, it is right $$\Delta $$ and we know that in a right $$\Delta $$ orthocenter coincides with the vertex at which right $$\angle $$ is formed.
$$\therefore $$ Orthocenter is $$\left( {0,\,0} \right).$$
28.
The points $$\left( {\alpha ,\,\beta ,} \right),\,\left( {\gamma ,\,\delta } \right),\,\left( {\alpha ,\,\delta } \right)$$ and $$\left( {\gamma ,\,\beta } \right)$$ taken in order, where $$\alpha ,\,\beta ,\,\gamma ,\,\delta $$ are different real numbers, are :
Let the points be $$A,\,B,\,C$$ and $$D.$$ Clearly
$$\eqalign{
& 'm'\,{\text{of }}AD = 0 = 'm'\,{\text{of }}BC \cr
& \therefore AD\left\| {BC} \right\|{\text{ }}x{\text{ - axis}}{\text{. Also }}A{D^2} = B{C^2} \cr
& 'm'\,{\text{of }}AC = \infty = 'm'\,{\text{of }}BD \cr
& \therefore AC\left\| {BD} \right\|{\text{ }}y{\text{ - axis}}{\text{. Also }}A{C^2} = B{D^2} \cr} $$
29.
If the point $$\left( {\cos \,\theta ,\,\sin \,\theta } \right)$$ does not fall in that angle between the lines $$y = \left| {x - 1} \right|$$ in which the origin lies then $$\theta $$ belongs to :
A
$$\left( {\frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{{3\pi }}{2}} \right)$$
B
$$\left( { - \frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$$
The lines are $$y=x-1$$ and $$y=-x+1$$ and $$\left( {\cos \,\theta ,\,\sin \,\theta } \right)$$ is any point on the circle $${x^2} + {y^2} = 1$$ where centre $$ = \left( {0,\,0} \right)$$ and radius $$=1$$
Clearly from the figure, $$\theta $$ can vary from $${ - \frac{\pi }{2}}$$ to $${\frac{\pi }{2}}.$$
