Since the perpendicular distance of point (1, 2) from both the lines is equal, thus it is mid parallel between
the two lines.

4. Here given lines are

2x + y – 3 = 0 ...(i)

5x + ky – 3 = 0 ...(ii)

Therefore, the point of intersection of two lines is (1, 1), Since above three lines are concurrent, the point
(1, 1) will satisfy equation (i)

Also, the lines are perpendicular

i.e., coefficient of x2 + coefficient of y2 = 0

 a + a + b + b = 0

26. Answer (3)

Let P be the middle point of the line segment joining A(3, –1) and B(1, 1).

Then P = (2, 0)

Let P be shifted to Q where PQ = 2 and y–coordinate of Q is greater than that of P (from graph)

Now, Slope of AB =  1
1 3 Q

 Slope of PQ = 1

 Coordinates in Q by distance formula

= (2  2,  2)

As y-coordinate of Q is greater than that of P

 Q  (2  2, 2) , which is the required point.
