Two sides of a parallelogram are along the lines 4x+5y=04x + 5y = 0 and 7x+2y=0.7x + 2y = 0 . If the equation of one of the diagonals of the parallelogram is 11x+7y=9,11x + 7y = 9, then other diagonal passes through the point:Two sides of a parallelogram are along the lines 4x + 5y = 0 and 7x + 2y = 0 . If the equation of one of the diagonals

Options

  1. A(1,2)\left(1, 2\right)
  2. B(2,2)\left(2, 2\right)
  3. C(2,1)\left(2, 1\right)
  4. D(1,3)\left(1, 3\right)

Correct answer

B. (2,2)\left(2, 2\right)

Step-by-step solution

Both the lines 4x+5y=0,7x+2y=04x + 5y = 0, 7x + 2y = 0 pass through origin.

Two sides of a parallelogram are along the lines 4x + 5y = 0 and 7x + 2y = 0 . If the equation of one of the diagonals

DD is the point of intersection of 4x+5y=0 and 11x+7y=94x + 5y = 0 \text{ and } 11x + 7y = 9

So upon solving we get the coordinates of point D=(53,−43)D = \left(\dfrac{5}{3}, - \dfrac{4}{3}\right)

Also, point BB is the point of intersection of 7x+2y=0 and 11x+7y=97x + 2y = 0 \text{ and } 11x + 7y = 9

So, coordinates of point B=(−23,73)B = \left(- \dfrac{2}{3}, \dfrac{7}{3}\right)

The diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other, so the mid point of BDBD is

\left(\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{3} - \dfrac{2}{3}}{2}, \dfrac{\dfrac{- 4}{3} + \dfrac{7}{3}}{2}\right) = \left(\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{1}{2}\right)</p><p>Theequationofdiagonal</p><p>The equation of diagonalACis</p><p>(y−0)=12−012−0(x−0)is</p><p>\left(y - 0\right) = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} - 0}{\dfrac{1}{2} - 0}\left(x - 0\right) i.e., y=xy = x

Therefore, the diagonal ACAC passes through \left(2, 2\right) .
