In a ∆ABC∆ ABC, suppose y=xy = x is the equation of the bisector of the angle BB and the equation of the side ACAC is 2x−y=22x - y = 2. If 2AB=BC2AB = BC and the point AA and BB are respectively (4,6)( 4, 6 ) and (α,β)( \alpha, \beta ), then α+2β\alpha + 2\beta is equal toIn a ∆ ABC , suppose y = x is the equation of the bisector of the angle B and the equation of the side AC is 2x - y = 2

Options

  1. A−4- 4
  2. B4242
  3. C22
  4. D−1- 1

Correct answer

B. 4242

Step-by-step solution

Given: Line AC:2x−y=2andBD:x=yAC: 2x - y = 2 and BD: x = y.

Line ACandBDAC\text{and}BD intersects at point DD.

⇒2x−x=2⇒ 2x - x = 2

⇒x=y=2⇒ x = y = 2

⇒D≡(2,2)</p><p>Weknowthat,byanglebisectortheorem,⇒ D ≡ \left(2, 2\right)</p><p>We know that, by angle bisector theorem, the angle bisector of a triangle divides the base in the same ratio as the other two sides.

⇒ CDAD=BCAB</p><p>Itisgiventhat,\dfrac{CD}{AD} = \dfrac{BC}{AB}</p><p>It is given that,2AB = BC.</p><p>.</p><p>⇒ CDAD=2ABAB</p><p>\dfrac{CD}{AD} = \dfrac{2AB}{AB}</p><p>⇒ CD: AD = 2: 1</p><p>Letthecoordinatesof</p><p>Let the coordinates ofCbe (h,k).</p><p>Byusingsectionformula,</p><p>be \left(h, k\right).</p><p>By using section formula,</p><p>D ≡ \left(\dfrac{h \times 1 + 2 \times 4}{3}, \dfrac{1 \times k + 2 \times 6}{3}\right) = \left(2, 2\right)

⇒h+8=6,k+12=6⇒ h + 8 = 6, k + 12 = 6

⇒h=−2,k=−6⇒ h = - 2, k = - 6

⇒C≡(−2,−6)⇒ C ≡ \left(- 2, - 6\right)

In a ∆ ABC , suppose y = x is the equation of the bisector of the angle B and the equation of the side AC is 2x - y = 2

Now, 2AB=BC2AB = BC

⇒2(4−α)2+(6−β)2=(α+2)2+(β+6)2⇒ 2\sqrt{{\left(4 - \alpha\right)}^{2} + {\left(6 - \beta\right)}^{2}} = \sqrt{{\left(\alpha + 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(\beta + 6\right)}^{2}}

Also, BB lines on x=yx = y.

⇒4[(4−α)2+(6−α)2]=(α+2)2+(α+6)2⇒ 4\left[{\left(4 - \alpha\right)}^{2} + {\left(6 - \alpha\right)}^{2}\right] = {\left(\alpha + 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(\alpha + 6\right)}^{2}

⇒4(16+α2−8α+36+α2−12α)=α2+4+4α+α2+36+12α⇒ 4\left(16 + {\alpha}^{2} - 8\alpha + 36 + {\alpha}^{2} - 12\alpha\right) = {\alpha}^{2} + 4 + 4\alpha + {\alpha}^{2} + 36 + 12\alpha

⇒8α2−80α+208=2α2+16α+40⇒ 8{\alpha}^{2} - 80\alpha + 208 = 2{\alpha}^{2} + 16\alpha + 40

⇒6α2−96α+168=0⇒ 6{\alpha}^{2} - 96\alpha + 168 = 0

⇒α2−16α+28=0⇒ {\alpha}^{2} - 16\alpha + 28 = 0

⇒(α−14)(α−2)=0⇒ \left(\alpha - 14\right)\left(\alpha - 2\right) = 0

⇒α=2,14⇒ \alpha = 2, 14

But, coordinates of BandDB\text{and}D cannot be same.

⇒α=β=14⇒ \alpha = \beta = 14

⇒α+2β=42⇒ \alpha + 2\beta = 42
