Let AA be the point of intersection of the lines 3x+2y=14,5x−y=63x + 2y = 14, 5x - y = 6 and BB be the point of intersection of the lines 4x+3y=8,6x+y=54x + 3y = 8, 6x + y = 5. The distance of the point P(5,−2)P ( 5, - 2 ) from the line ABAB is

Options

  1. A132\dfrac{13}{2}
  2. B88
  3. C52\dfrac{5}{2}
  4. D66

Correct answer

D. 66

Step-by-step solution

Solving lines L1(3x+2y=14){L}_{1} ( 3x + 2y = 14 ) and L2(5x−y=6){L}_{2} ( 5x - y = 6 ).

⇒x=14−2y3=6+y5⇒ x = \dfrac{14 - 2y}{3} = \dfrac{6 + y}{5}

⇒70−10y=18+3y⇒ 70 - 10y = 18 + 3y

⇒52=13y⇒ 52 = 13y

⇒y=4⇒ y = 4

⇒x=14−83=2⇒ x = \dfrac{14 - 8}{3} = 2

⇒A≡(2,4)⇒ A ≡ \left(2, 4\right)

Now, solving lines L3(4x+3y=8){L}_{3} ( 4x + 3y = 8 ) and L4(6x+y=5){L}_{4} ( 6x + y = 5 )

⇒x=8−3y4=5−y6⇒ x = \dfrac{8 - 3y}{4} = \dfrac{5 - y}{6}

⇒48−18y=20−4y⇒ 48 - 18y = 20 - 4y

⇒28=14y⇒ 28 = 14y

⇒y=2⇒ y = 2

⇒x=8−64=12⇒ x = \dfrac{8 - 6}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}

⇒B≡(12,2)⇒ B ≡ \left(\dfrac{1}{2}, 2\right)

So, equation of ABAB is given by,

AB:(y−4)=(2−412−2)(x−2)AB: \left(y - 4\right) = \left(\dfrac{2 - 4}{\dfrac{1}{2} - 2}\right)\left(x - 2\right)

⇒AB:(y−4)=(43)(x−2)⇒ AB: \left(y - 4\right) = \left(\dfrac{4}{3}\right)\left(x - 2\right)

⇒AB:(y−4)=(43)(x−2)⇒ AB: \left(y - 4\right) = \left(\dfrac{4}{3}\right)\left(x - 2\right)

⇒3y−12=4x−8⇒ 3y - 12 = 4x - 8

⇒4x−3y+4=0⇒ 4x - 3y + 4 = 0

The distance of P(5,−2)P\left(5, - 2\right) from the line ABAB is given by,

D=∣4(5)−3(−2)+45∣D = \left|\dfrac{4 ( 5 ) - 3 ( - 2 ) + 4}{5}\right|

⇒D=6⇒ D = 6 units.
