JEE Main2012MathematicsStraight LinesActual
Consider the straight lines aligned & L₁: x-y=1 & L₂: x+y=1 & L₃: 2 x+2 y=5 & L₄: 2 x-2 y=7 aligned The correct statement is
Options
- AL₁ |L₄, L₂ | L₃, L₁ intersect L₄ .
- BL₁ L₂, L₁ | L₃, L₁ intersect L₂ .
- CL₁ L₂, L₂ | L₃, L₁ intersect L₄ .
- DL₁ L₂, L₁ L₃, L₂ intersect L₄ .
Correct answer
D. L₁ L₂, L₁ L₃, L₂ intersect L₄ .
Step-by-step solution
Consider the lines L₁: x-y=1L₂: x+ y =1L₃: 2 x+2 y=5L₄: 2 x-2 y=7L₁ L₂ is correct statement ( Product of their slopes =-1)L₁ L₃ is also correct statement ( Product of their slopes =-1) Now, L₂: x+y=1L₄: 2 x-2 y=7 2 x-2(1-x)=7 2 x-2+2 x=7 x= 9 4 and y= -5 4 Hence, L₂ intersects L₄ .
