- A
$9$
- ✓
$9\over2$
- C
$2$
- D

AnswerCorrect option: B. $9\over2$
b
(b) The equation of lines are $y - {y_1} = \frac{{m \pm \tan \alpha }}{{1 \mp m\tan \alpha }}(x - {x_1})$
==> $y - 4 = \frac{{1 \pm \tan 45^\circ }}{{1 \mp \tan 45^\circ }}(x - {x_1})$
==> $y - 4 = \frac{{1 \pm 1}}{{1 \mp 1}}(x - 3)$ ==> $y = 4$ or $x = 3$
Hence, the lines which make the triangle are $x - y = 2,$ $x = 3$ and $y = 4$. The intersection points of these lines are $(6,\,4),\,(3,\,1)$ and $(3,\,4)$
$\Delta = \frac{1}{2}[6( - 3) + 3(0) + 3(3)]$ $ = \frac{9}{2}$.

(c) According to question , ${x_1} = \frac{{2 + 4 + x}}{3} \Rightarrow x = 3{x_1} - 6$
${y_1} = \frac{{5 - 11 + y}}{3} \Rightarrow y = 3{y_1} + 6$
$\therefore $ $9(3{x_1} - 6) + 7(3{y_1} + 6) + 4 = 0$
Hence locus is $27x + 21y - 8 = 0$, which is parallel to $9x+7y+4 = 0.$

- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $2Tx - {a^2}y + 2aT = 0$
b
(b) If the line cuts off the axes at $A$ and $B$, then area of triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times OA \times OB = T$
==> $\frac{1}{2}.a.OB = T \Rightarrow OB = \frac{{2T}}{a}$
Hence the equation of line is $\frac{x}{{ - a}} + \frac{y}{{2T/a}} = 1$
$ \Rightarrow 2Tx - {a^2}y + 2aT = 0$.

Hence the vertices of the triangle are $A(0,\,2),B\left( {0, - \frac{1}{2}} \right)$ and $C\left( {\frac{5}{4},\frac{3}{4}} \right)$. Therefore, the area of the triangle is $\frac{1}{2}\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0&2&1\\0&{ - \frac{1}{2}}&1\\{\frac{5}{4}}&{\frac{3}{4}}&1\end{array}\,} \right| = \frac{{25}}{{16}}$.

AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{\pi }{2}$
b
(b) Since the distance between the parallel line $lx + my + n = 0$and $lx + my + n' = 0$ is same as the distance between parallel lines $mx + ly + n = 0$ and $mx + ly + n' = 0$. Therefore the parallelogram is a rhombus. Since the diagonals of a rhombus are at right angles, therefore the required angle is $\frac{\pi }{2}$.

- A
$1 : 2$
- B
$2 : 1$
- ✓
$4 : 3$
- D
$3 : 4$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $4 : 3$
c
(c) Equation of line Perpendicular to $2x + y + 6 = 0$ passes through $(0, 0)$ is $x - 2y = 0$
Now point of intersection of $x - 2y = 0$ and $2x + y + 6 = 0$is $\left( {\frac{{ - 12}}{5},\frac{{ - 6}}{5}} \right)$ and point of intersection of $x - 2y = 0$ and $4x + 2y - 9 = 0$ is $\left( {\frac{9}{5},\frac{9}{{10}}} \right)$.
Now say origin divide the line $x - 2y = 0$ in the ratio $\lambda :1$
$x = \frac{{\frac{9}{5}\lambda - \frac{{12}}{5}}}{{\lambda + 1}} = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{9}{5}\lambda = \frac{{12}}{5}$, $\therefore \lambda = \frac{4}{3}$
Thus origin divides the line $x = 2y$, in the ratio $4 : 3$.

$\angle Q P Q_2+\angle P Q \cdot Q+\angle P Q Q_2=\angle R Q Q_2 +\angle Q Q_2 R+\angle Q R Q_2$
$\therefore \angle P Q Q_2=\angle R Q Q_2$

There are two candles of same length and same size. Both of them burn at uniform rate. The first one burns in $5\,hr$ and the second one burns in $3\,h$. Both the candles are lit together. After how many minutes the length of the first candle is $3$ times that of the other?
Answerd
(d)
We have, length and size of two candles are same. Let $L$ be the length of candles.
Given, first candle burns in $5 h$ and second candle burns in $3 h$.
In one hours length of candles are $\frac{L}{5}$ and $\frac{L}{3}$, respectively.
Let after time $t h$ the length of candles are $L_1$ and $L_2$
$\therefore \quad L_1=L-\frac{L}{5} t$ and $L_2=L-\frac{L}{3} t$
According to the problem,
$L_1=3 L_2$
$\therefore \quad L-\frac{L}{5} t=3\left(L-\frac{L}{3} t\right)$
$\Rightarrow 1-\frac{1}{5} t=3-t \Rightarrow t\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right)=3-1$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{4 t}{5}=2 \Rightarrow t=\frac{5}{2} h$
$\Rightarrow \quad t=\frac{5}{2} \times 60=150\,min$

$X Y$ is parallel to $B C$.
$I$. Area of $B C X:$ Area of $B C Y$
It is true because same base between same parallels.
$II$. Area of $\triangle A C X=\frac{1}{2}(A X)(A C) \sin A$
Area of $\triangle A B Y=\frac{1}{2}(A Y)(A B) \sin A$
$\therefore$ (Area of $\triangle A C X)$ (Area of $\triangle A B Y)$
$=\frac{1}{2}(A X)(A C) \sin A \times \frac{1}{2}(A Y)(A B) \sin A$
$=\frac{1}{2}(A X)(A Y) \sin A \times \frac{1}{2}(A B)(A C) \sin A$
$=(\text { Area of } \triangle A X Y) \text { (Area of } \triangle A B C)$
Hence,$I$ and $II$ both are true.

b
(b)
$A B C D$ is square
$A B=B C=C D=A D=1$
$P Q$ is perpendicular to $R S$
$\because$ Slope of $P Q \times$ Slope of $R S=-1$
$\therefore \quad q-p \times 1-0=-1$
$ \Rightarrow q-p =r-s $$ \Rightarrow (P Q)^2 =(1-0)^2+(q-p)^2 $
$\Rightarrow \quad(P Q)^2=(1-0)^2+(q-p)^2$
$\Rightarrow \quad\left(\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{4}\right)^2=1+(q-p)^2$
$\Rightarrow \quad(q-p)^2=\frac{27}{16}-1=\frac{11}{16}$
$\Rightarrow \quad(r-s)^2=\frac{11}{16} \quad[\because q-p=r-s]$
$\Rightarrow \quad R S=\sqrt{(1-0)^2+(r-s)^2}$
$\Rightarrow \quad R S=\sqrt{1+\frac{11}{16}}$
$\therefore \quad R S=\sqrt{\frac{27}{16}}=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{4}$

Answera
$(a)$
Given,
$A B C D$ is a rectangle $A(1,2)$ and $B(3,6)$ equation of one of the diameter of circle circumscribing the rectangle is
$2 x-y+4=0 \text {. }$
Slope of diameter $=2$
and slope of line $A B=\frac{6-2}{3-1}=\frac{4}{2}=2$
$\therefore$ Side $A B$ is parallel to diameter of circle equation of line $A B$
$y-2=2(x-1) \Rightarrow 2 x-y=0$
Distance between diameter of circle and line $A B$
$d=\left|\frac{4}{\sqrt{2^2+1}}\right|=\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$
$\therefore \quad B C=2 d=\frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}$
Now, $\quad A B=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(6-2)^2}$
$=\sqrt{4+16}=2 \sqrt{\overline{5}}$
Area of rectangle $=A B \times B C$
$=2 \sqrt{5} \times \frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}=16$

Answera
(a)
The line $2 x+3 y=18$
Cut the $Y$-axis at $B$
$\therefore \quad B=(0,6), C=(a, b)$
$\because P D$ is perpendicular bisector of line
segment $B C$
Equation of line $P D$ is perpendicular to $B C$.
$\therefore \quad 3 x-2 y=\lambda$ Since, $P D$ is passing through $P(10,10)$.
Since, $P D$ is passing through $F$ $\therefore \quad 30-20=\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda=10$
Equation of line $P D$ is $3 x-2 y=10$
Solving the equation $2 x+3 y=18$ and
$3 x-2 y=10$
we get $D\left(\frac{66}{13}, \frac{34}{13}\right)$
$D$ is mid-point of $B C$
$\therefore \frac{a+0}{2} =\frac{66}{13}, \frac{b+6}{2}=\frac{34}{13}$
$\Rightarrow \quad =\frac{132}{13}, b=\frac{-10}{13}$
$\therefore \quad 3 a+2 b =\frac{8 \times 132}{13}-\frac{20}{13}$
$= \frac{1056-20}{13}=\frac{1036}{13}$

$x+2=(2-\sqrt{3}) x-2+\sqrt{3} $
$x=\frac{4-\sqrt{3}}{1-\sqrt{3}}$
$ \alpha^2+\gamma^2=\left(\frac{4+\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{4-\sqrt{3}}{1-\sqrt{3}}\right)^2 $
$ \alpha^2+\gamma^2=14$
