1. The point on X−axis which is equidistant from he points (7, 6) and (3, 4), is
(A) ( 13 , 0) (B) (13 0) (C) (
15
, 0) (D) (
17
, 0)
2 2 2

Answer: 3
Let any point P on the X -axis is (x, 0) as if a point lie on X -axis, y -coordinate is zero and the given points are A(7, 6) and
B(3, 4).

Given, PA = PB

2 2
⇒ PA = PB

2 2 2 2
⇒ (x − 7) + (0 − 6) = (x − 3) + (0 − 4)
2 2
⇒ x + 49 − 14x + 36 = x + 9 − 6x + 16

⇒ −14x + 6x = 25 − 36 − 49

⇒ −8x = 25 − 85

⇒ −8x = −60

60 15
⇒ x = ⇒ x =

2. The line y − x + 2 = 0 divides the line joining (3, −1) and (8, 9) in the ratio λ : 1, where λ is
(A) (B) (C) (D)

3 3 2 2

Answer: 1
Suppose the line y − x + 2 = 0 divides the line segment joining A(3, −1) and B(8, 9) in the ratio λ : 1 at point P , then the
8λ+3 9λ−1
coordinates of the point P are ( λ+1
,
λ+1
) .
But P lies on y − x + 2 = 0 , therefore
9λ−1 8λ+3
( ) − ( ) + 2 = 0
λ+1 λ+1

⇒ 9λ − 1 − 8λ − 3 + 2λ + 2 = 0

⇒ 3λ − 2 = 0

or λ =
3

So, the required ratio is , i.e., 2 (internally), since here λ is positive.

3. If the lines 2x + y − 3 = 0, 5x + Ky − 3 = 0 and 3x − y − 2 = 0 are concurrent, then the value of K is

(A) −1 (B) −2 (C) −3 (D) −4
Answer: 2
Three lines are said to be concurrent, if they pass through a common point, i.e., point of intersection of any two lines lies on the
third line. Here given lines are
2x + y − 3 = 0

5x + ky − 3 = 0

3x − y − 2 = 0

Solving Eqs. (i) and (iii) by cross-multiplication method, we get

x y 1
= = orx = 1, y = 1
−2−3 −9+4 −2−3

Therefore, the point of intersection of two lines is (1, 1). Since, above three lines are concurrent, the point (1, 1) will satisfy Eq.
(ii), so that
5.1 + k ⋅ 1 − 3 = 0ork = −2

4. The value of p, so that the three lines 3x + y − 2 = 0, px + 2y − 3 = 0 and 2x − y − 3 = 0 may intersect at one point, is

Answer: 1
The equations of lines 3x + 4y = 9 and 6x + 8y = 15 may be rewritten as 3x + 4y − 9 = 0 and 3x + 4y − 15

2

Since, the slope of these lines are same and hence they are parallel to each other. Therefore, the distance between them is given

(A) 22x + 5 = 0 (B) 11x + 5 = 0 (C) 13x + 5 = 0 (D) 55x + 11 = 0
Success
Answer: 1
Given, equation of lines are
x − 7y + 5 = 0

3x + y = 0

and
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), to find the point of intersection from Eq. (i)
x = 7y − 5

On putting the value of x in Eq. (ii), we get

3(7y − 5) + y = 0

⇒ 21y − 15 + y = 0

⇒ 22y = 15

15
⇒ y =
22
105−110
∴ From Eq. (i), x =
7×15
− 5 =

Hence, the point is (− 5

where (x1 , y1 ) = (

10. The reflection of the point (1, 1) along the line y = −x is

(A) (0, 0) (B) (−1, 1) (C) (−1, −1) (D) (1, −1)

Answer: 3
The mid-point of P Q lies on x + y = 0

h+1 k+1
( ) + ( ) = 0
2 2

h + k = −2 … (i)

Again, PQ is perpendicular to AB.

k−1
∴ ( ) (−1) = −1 (∵ m1 m2 = −1)
h−1

⇒ k − 1 = h − 1

⇒ k = h

Put k = h in Eq. (i), we get

2h = −2

⇒ h = −1

∴ K = −1

11. If lines represented by x + 3y − 6 = 0, 2x + y − 4 = 0 and kx − 3y + 1 = 0 are concurrent, then the value of k is

(A) 19

Answer: 2
Given lines are,
x + 3y − 6 = 0

2x + y − 4 = 0

kx − 3y + 1 = 0

these given lines will concurrent

∣1 3 −6 ∣

when 2 1 −4 = 0
∣ ∣
∣k −3 1 ∣

Expand with respect to R1 :

1(1 − 12) − 3(2 + 4k) − 6(−6 − k) = 0

⇒ −11 − 6 − 12k + 36 + 6k = 0

⇒ −6k − 17 + 36 = 0

⇒ 6k = 19

⇒ k =

2 2
a = cos α − 1 = − sin α
2 2
n = − cos α and b = sin α

Let θ be the angle between the lines, then
