Straight Line and Pair of Straight Lines 3 Question 6

7. Given the four lines with the equations

x+2y3=0,3x+4y7=0,

2x+3y4=0,4x+5y6=0, then

(1980, 1M)

(a) they are all concurrent

(b) they are the sides of a quadrilateral

(c) only three lines are concurrent

(d) None of the above

Objective Question II

(One or more than one correct option)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (c)

Solution:

  1. Given lines, x+2y3=0 and 3x+4y7=0 intersect at (1,1), which does not satisfy 2x+3y4=0 and 4x+5y6=0.

Also, 3x+4y7=0 and 2x+3y4=0 intersect at (5,2) which does not satisfy x+2y3=0 and 4x+5y6=0.

Lastly, intersection point of x+2y3=0 and 2x+3y4=0 is (1,2) which satisfy 4x+5y6=0. Hence, only three lines are concurrent.
