  1. $36/13$

  2. $12/17$

  3. $13/5$

  4. $17/3$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As the lines are perpendicular and form an isosceles triangle the other two angles must be $45^\circ$

Let the slope of the line be m
$tan 45^\circ = \Bigg|\cfrac{-\cfrac{2}{3}-m}{1-\cfrac{2m}{3}}\Bigg| = 1$
$m = -5$ and the other line slope =$\cfrac{1}{5}$
Lines 
$y +5x= 0$ and $5y =x$
Intersection points $(0,0)$ , $(-\cfrac{6}{13} , \cfrac{30}{13})$ and $(\cfrac{30}{13} , \cfrac{6}{13})$
Perpendicular distance from origin to line $2x+3y=6$ is $\cfrac{|0+0-6|}{\sqrt{2^2+3^2}} = \cfrac{6}{\sqrt{13}}$
Distance between the points are $\sqrt{\Bigg(\cfrac{36}{13}\Bigg)^2+\Bigg(\cfrac{24}{13}\Bigg)^2} = \cfrac{\sqrt{1872}}{13} = \cfrac{12\sqrt{13}}{13}$
Area = $\cfrac{1}{2} \times \cfrac{12\sqrt{13}}{13} \times \cfrac{6}{\sqrt{13}} = \cfrac{36}{13}$

  1. $3x+3y-1=0$

  2. $x-3y+2=0$

  3. $5x+5y-3=0$

  4. $none$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
we have
$L _1 =x+3y-2=0---(1)$

$L _2=x-7y+5=0---(2)$

now,

we know that

family of line through the given lines is

$L=L _2+\lambda L _2=0$

$=x-7y+5+\lambda (x+3y-2)=0---(3)$

Distance of any point ray $(2,0)$ on the line $x+3y-2=0$ from the lime 
$x-7y+5=0$ and the line $L=0$ must be same
so,

$\Rightarrow \ \left |\dfrac {2+5}{\sqrt {50}}\right | = \left |\dfrac {2+2\lambda +5-2\lambda}{\sqrt {(1+\lambda)^2+(3\lambda -7)^2}}\right|$

$\Rightarrow \ \dfrac {7}{\sqrt {50}}=\dfrac {7}{\sqrt {(1+\lambda)^2 +(3\lambda -7)^2}}$

$\Rightarrow \ 10\lambda^2-40\lambda =0$

$10\lambda (\lambda -4)=0$

$\lambda =0,\ \lambda =4$

then, put $\lambda =4$ in equation $(3)$ and we get

$L=x-7y+5+4(x+3y-2)=0$

$L=x-7y+5+4x+12y-8=0$

$L=5x+5y-3=0$

Hence this is the answer.

  1. $0$

  2. $1$

  3. $2$

  4. $-1$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

${ y }^{ 2 }+3x-xy-3{ x }^{ 2 }=0\ y(y+3x)-x(y+3x)=0\ (y+3x)(y-x)=0$

lines are $x=y$ and $-3x$
On comparing , we get 
$l=3$ or $l=-1$

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{4}{5}$

  2. $4\sqrt{2}$

  3. $2$

  4. $10\sqrt{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given equation of pair of straight lines is 

$(x+7y)^{2}+4 \sqrt{2}(x+7y)-42=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}+49y^{2}+14xy+4\sqrt{2}x+28\sqrt{2}y-42=0$

Here $a=1, b=49, h=7, g=2\sqrt{2},f=14\sqrt{2},c=-42$
Here $h^{2}=ab$

The given equation represents a pair of parallel lines.

$\displaystyle d=2\sqrt{\frac{g^{2}-ac}{a(a+b)}}$

$\Rightarrow d=2$

If the pair of lines $ax^{2}+2hxy+by^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0$ intercept on the $x-$axis, then $2fgh=$
