MCQ
The figure formed by the lines $\text{ax} \pm \text{by} \pm \text{c} = 0 $ is:
- Aa rectangle.
- Ba square.
- Ca rhombus.
- DNone of these.

Answer
- a rhombus.
Solution:
The given lines can be written separately in the following manner:
ax + by + c = 0 ...(1)
ax + by - c = 0 ...(2)
ax - by - c = 0 ...(3)
ax - by - c = 0 ...(4)
Graph of the given lines is given below:
Clearly, $\text{AB}=\text{BC}=\text{CD}=\text{DA}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{c}^2}+\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{c}^2}}=\frac{\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2}}{|\text{c}|}$
Thus, the region formed by the given lines is ABCD, which is a rhombus.

The equation of a circle with origin as centre and passing through the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose median is of length 3a is:
- x2 + y2 = 9a2
- x2 + y2 = 16a2
- x2 + y2 = 4a2
- x2 + y2 = a2
[Hint: Centroid of the triangle coincides with the centre of the circle and the radius of the circle is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the length of the mediam]
