15. If the lines ax+y+1=0,x+by+1=0 and x+y+c=0(a,b,c being distinct and different from 1) are concurrent, then (11a)+11b+11c=

(a) 0

(b) 1

(c) 1a+b+c

(d) None

Show Answer

Solution:

c2c2c1,c3c3c1

|a111 b111c|=0|a1a1a1 b1010c1|=0

a(b1)(c1)(1a)(c1)+(1a)(1b)=0

divide by (1a)(1b)(1c) we get

a1a+11b+11c=0

11a+11b+11c=1

(c) b[0,2]

(d) None of these

Show Answer

Solution: (0,0) & (1,1) are on the same side

0+1>0 so a2+ab+1>0

D<0 i.e

b24<0

b2<4

2<b<2 but b>0

b(0,2)

17. Let P(1,0),Q(0,0) and R(3,33) be three points. Then the equation of the bisector of the angle PQR is
