The foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin, on the line, 3x + y = $\lambda $ ($\lambda $ $ \ne $ 0) is P. If the line meets x-axis at A and y-axis at B, then the ratio BP : PA is :
A.
1 : 3
B.
3 : 1
C.
1 : 9
D.
9 : 1

The sides of a rhombus ABCD are parallel to the lines, x $-$ y + 2 = 0 and 7x $-$ y + 3 = 0. If the diagonals of the rhombus intersect P(1, 2) and the vertex A (different from the origin) is on the y-axis, then the coordinate of A is :
A.
${5 \over 2}$
B.
${7 \over 4}$
C.
2
D.
${7 \over 2}$
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Let the coordinate A be (0, c)
Equations of the given lines are
x $-$ y + 2 = 0 and 7x $-$ y + 3 = 0
We know that the diagonals of the rhombus will be parallel to the angle bisectors of the two given lines; y = x + 2 and y = 7x + 3
$\therefore\,\,\,$ equation of angle bisectors is given as :
${{x - y + 2} \over {\sqrt 2 }} = \pm {{7x - y + 3} \over {5\sqrt 2 }}$
5x $-$ 5y + 10 = $ \pm $ (7x $-$ y + 3)
$\therefore\,\,\,$ Parallel equations of the diagonals are 2x + 4y $-$ 7 = 0
and 12x $-$ 6y + 13 = 0
$\therefore\,\,\,$ slopes of diagonals are ${{ - 1} \over 2}$ and 2.
Now, slope of the diagonal from A(0, c) and passing through P(1, 2) is (2 $-$ c)
$\therefore\,\,\,$ 2 $-$ c = 2 $ \Rightarrow $ c = 0 (not possible)
$ \therefore $$\,\,\,$ 2 $-$ c = ${{ - 1} \over 2}$ $ \Rightarrow $ c = ${5 \over 2}$
$\therefore\,\,\,$ Coordinate of A is ${5 \over 2}$.

B.
$\left( {1, - {3 \over 4}} \right)$
C.
$\left( {2,{1 \over 2}} \right)$
D.
$\left( {2, - {1 \over 2}} \right)$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Given, vertices of triangle are (k, – 3k), (5, k) and (–k, 2).
Point H($\alpha $, $\beta $) lies on both (1) and (2),
$ \therefore $ $\alpha $ = 2 .........(3)

A.
$y + \sqrt {3x} + 2 - 3\sqrt 3 = 0$
B.
$y - \sqrt {3x} + 2 + 3\sqrt 3 = 0$
C.
$\sqrt {3y} - x + 3 + 2\sqrt 3 = 0$
D.
$\sqrt {3y} + x - 3 + 2\sqrt 3 = 0$
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
We have $\left| {{{m + \sqrt 3 } \over {1 - \sqrt 3 m}}} \right| = \sqrt 3 $.
$ \Rightarrow m + \sqrt 3 = \pm (\sqrt 3 - 3m)$
$ \Rightarrow 4m = 0 \Rightarrow m = 0$
or $2m = 2\sqrt 3 \Rightarrow m = \sqrt 3 $
Therefore, the equation is
$y + 2 = \sqrt 3 (x - 3)$
$ \Rightarrow \sqrt 3 x - y - (2 + 3\sqrt 3 ) = 0$

B.

C.
more than two values of $p$

B.
two straight lines and a circle, when a = b, and c is of sign opposite to that of a

two straight lines and a hyperbola, when a and b are of the same sign and c is of sign opposite to that of a
D.
a circle and an ellipse, when a and b are of the same sign and c is of sign opposite to that of a
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Let a and b be non-zero real numbers.
Therefore, the given equation $(a{x^2} + b{y^2} + c)({x^2} - 5xy + 6{y^2}) = 0$ implies either
${x^2} - 5xy + 6{y^2} = 0$
$(x - 2y)(x - 3y) = 0$
$x = 2y$ and $x = 3y$ represent two straight line passing through origin or $a{x^2} + b{y^2} + c = 0$ when c = 0 and a and b are of same signs then
$a{x^2} + b{y^2} + c = 0$
$y=0$
Which is a point specified as the origin. When a = b and c is of sign opposite to that of a $a{x^2} + b{y^2} + c = 0$ represent a circle.
Hence, the given equation,
$(a{x^2} + b{y^2} + c)({x^2} - 5xy + 6{y^2}) = 0$
May represent two straight lines and a circle.

If a vertex of a triangle is $(1, 1)$ and the mid points of two sides through this vertex are $(-1, 2)$ and $(3, 2)$ then the centroid of the triangle is :
A.
$\left( { - 1,{7 \over 3}} \right)$
B.
$\left( {{{ - 1} \over 3},{7 \over 3}} \right)$
C.
$\left( { 1,{7 \over 3}} \right)$
D.
$\left( {{{ 1} \over 3},{7 \over 3}} \right)$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Vertex of triangle is $\left( {1,\,1} \right)$ and midpoint of sides through -
this vertex is $\left( { - 1,\,2} \right)$ and $\left( {3,2} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ vertex $B$ and $C$ come out to be $\left( { - 3,3} \right)$ and $\left( {5,3} \right)$

If non zero numbers $a, b, c$ are in $H.P.,$ then the straight line ${x \over a} + {y \over b} + {1 \over c} = 0$ always passes through a fixed point. That point is :
A.
$(-1,2)$
B.
$(-1, -2)$
C.
$(1, -2)$
D.
$\left( {1, - {1 \over 2}} \right)$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
$a,b,c$ are in $H.P. \Rightarrow {1 \over a}.{1 \over b},{1 \over c}$ are in $A.P.$

If the sum of the slopes of the lines given by ${x^2} - 2cxy - 7{y^2} = 0$ is four times their product $c$ has the value :
A.
$-2$
B.
$-1$
C.
$2$
D.
$1$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the lines be $y = {m_1}x$ and $y = {m_2}x$ then
${a^2} - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow a = \pm 2 \Rightarrow b = - 3$, $1$
$\therefore$ Equation of straight lines are
${x \over 2} + {y \over { - 3}} = 1$
or ${x \over { - 2}} + {y \over 1} = 1$

Let $A\left( {2, - 3} \right)$ and $B\left( {-2, 1} \right)$ be vertices of a triangle $ABC$. If the centroid of this triangle moves on the line $2x + 3y = 1$, then the locus of the vertex $C$ is the line :
or $\left( {{h \over 3},{{ - 2 + k} \over 3}} \right).$ It lies on $2x+3y=1$
$ \Rightarrow {{2h} \over 3} - 2 + k = 1$
$ \Rightarrow 2h + 3k = 9$
$ \therefore $ Locus of $C$ is $2x+3y=9$
