Let the circumcentre of a triangle with vertices AA\left(a, 3\right), B(b,5)B\left(b, 5\right) and C(a,b),ab>0C\left(a, b\right), ab > 0 be P(1,1)P\left(1, 1\right). If the line APAP intersects the line BCBC at the point Q(k1,k2)Q\left({k}_{1}, {k}_{2}\right), then k1+k2{k}_{1} + {k}_{2} is equal toLet the circumcentre of a triangle with vertices A (a, 3), B(b, 5) and C(a, b), ab > 0 be P(1, 1) . If the line AP

Options

  1. A22
  2. B47\dfrac{4}{7}
  3. C27\dfrac{2}{7}
  4. D44

Correct answer

B. 47\dfrac{4}{7}

Step-by-step solution

On plotting the graph we get,

Let the circumcentre of a triangle with vertices A (a, 3), B(b, 5) and C(a, b), ab > 0 be P(1, 1) . If the line AP

Now by diagram mAC⟶∞{m}_{AC} ⟶ \infty and mPD=0{m}_{PD} = 0 as PDPD is perpendicular bisector, so D(a+a2,b+32)D\left(\dfrac{a + a}{2}, \dfrac{b + 3}{2}\right)

≡D(a,b+32)≡ D\left(a, \dfrac{b + 3}{2}\right)

Now since mPD=0{m}_{PD} = 0, so b+32−1=0\dfrac{b + 3}{2} - 1 = 0

⇒b+3−2=0⇒ b + 3 - 2 = 0⇒b=−1⇒ b = - 1

Now similarly finding the coordinates of E(b+a2,5+b2)=(a−12,2){asb=−1}E\left(\dfrac{b + a}{2}, \dfrac{5 + b}{2}\right) = \left(\dfrac{a - 1}{2}, 2\right)\left\{\text{as}b = - 1\right\}

Now we know that product of perpendicular slopes is mCB⋅mEP=−1{m}_{CB} \cdot {m}_{EP} = - 1

⇒(5−bb−a)=(2−1a−12−1)=−1⇒ \left(\dfrac{5 - b}{b - a}\right) = \left(\dfrac{2 - 1}{\dfrac{a - 1}{2} - 1}\right) = - 1

⇒(6−1−a)=(2a−3)=−1⇒ \left(\dfrac{6}{- 1 - a}\right) = \left(\dfrac{2}{a - 3}\right) = - 1

⇒12=(1+a)(a−3)⇒ 12 = \left(1 + a\right)\left(a - 3\right)

⇒12=a2−3a+a−3⇒ 12 = {a}^{2} - 3a + a - 3

⇒a2−2a−15=0⇒ {a}^{2} - 2a - 15 = 0

⇒(a−5)(a+3)=0⇒ \left(a - 5\right)\left(a + 3\right) = 0

So, a=5a = 5 or a=−3a = - 3

Now given ab>0ab > 0

So, a(−1)>0a\left(- 1\right) > 0⇒a<0⇒ a < 0

So, a=−3a = - 3

Now equation of line APAP by two point form will be, {where A(−3,3) and P(1,1)A\left(- 3, 3\right) \text{ and } P\left(1, 1\right)}

y−1=(3−1−3−1)(x−1)y - 1 = \left(\dfrac{3 - 1}{- 3 - 1}\right)\left(x - 1\right)

⇒−2y+2=x−1⇒ - 2y + 2 = x - 1

⇒x+2y=3⇒ x + 2y = 3 ⋯(1)⋯ \left(1\right)

Now equation of line BCBC {where B(−1,5)B\left(- 1, 5\right) and C(−3,−1)C\left(- 3, - 1\right)} will be,

\left(y - 5\right) = \dfrac{6}{2}(x+1)\left(x + 1\right)

⇒y−5=3x+3⇒ y - 5 = 3x + 3

⇒y=3x+8⋯(2)⇒ y = 3x + 8 ⋯ \left(2\right)

Now solving \left(1\right)and(2)and \left(2\right) we get,

x+2(3x+8)=3x + 2\left(3x + 8\right) = 3

⇒7x+16=3⇒ 7x + 16 = 3⇒7x=−13⇒ 7x = - 13

⇒x=−137⇒ x = - \dfrac{13}{7}

And y=3(−137)+8y = 3\left(- \dfrac{13}{7}\right) + 8=−39+567= \dfrac{- 39 + 56}{7}

So, y=177y = \dfrac{17}{7}

So the value of \left({k}_{1}, {k}_{2}\right)willbewill bex + y = \dfrac{- 13 + 17}{7} = \dfrac{4}{7}{wherek1isx and k2isy}\left\{\text{where}{k}_{1}\text{is}x \text{ and } {k}_{2}\text{is}y\right\}
