Option A:

Option B:

Option C:

-3

Option D:

Correct Option

Solution
2
PQ=13 ⇒ PQ =169
⇒¿
2
⇒ x −4 x+ 4 +144=169
2
⇒ x −4 x−21=0

Question 2:

The points (a ,b), ( a1 , b1 ) and ( a−a 1 , b−b1 ) are collinear if

Option A:
1 1
ab=a b

Option B:
1 1
ab =a b

Option C: a=b

Option D:
1 1
a =b

Correct Option

Solution

We have,
a ( b1−b+ b1 ) +a 1 ( b−b 1−b ) + ( a−a1 ) ( b−a1 ) ( b−b1 ) =0

⇒ 2 ab 1−ab−a1 b 1+ ab−ab1−a1 b+a 1 b1=0

⇒ ab1−a 1 b=0
⇒ ab1=a 1 b.

Correct Option

Solution

Since (x, y) is midpoint of (3 , 4) and (k , 7)

3+ k 4+7
∴ x=

and y= 2

Also 2 x+ 2 y +1=0 putting values we get.
