Consider the lines x (3 +1)+ y (7 +2)=17 +5 , being a parameter, all passing through a point P . One of these lines (say L) is farthest from the origin. If the distance of L from the point (3,6) is d , then the value of d^2 is
Options
- A20
- B30
- C10
- D15
Correct answer
A. 20
Step-by-step solution
aligned & x (3 +1)+ y (7 +2)=17 +5 & ( x +2 y -5)+ (3 x +7 y -17)=0 aligned intersection of family of lines P (1,2) Let Q (3,6) aligned & d = PQ = 2^2+4^2 = 20 & ~d ^2=20 aligned option (1)
