Question 1.
Find \(\bar{a}\)∙(\(\bar{b}\) × \(\bar{c}\)), if \(\bar{a}\) = \(3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\), \(\bar{b}\) = \(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\) and \(\bar{c}\) = \(-5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\)
Solution:
\(\bar{a}\)∙(\(\bar{b}\) × \(\bar{c}\)) = \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
3 & -1 & 4 \\
2 & 3 & -1 \\
-5 & 2 & 3
\end{array}\right|\)
= 3(9 + 2) + 1 (6 – 5) + 4(4 + 15)
= 33 + 1 + 76
= 110.

Question 2.
If the vectors \(3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{k}, 4 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\) and \(3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\) are to co-terminus edges of the parallelo piped, then find the volume of the parallelopiped.
Solution:

= 3(8 + 3) – 0(16 + 9) + 5(4 – 6)
= 33 – 0 – 10 = 23
∴ volume of the parallelopiped = \([\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}]\)
= 23 cubic units.

Solution:

∴ -3(0 + 2p) – 4(0 – 2) – 2(-p – 0) = 0
∴ -6p + 8 + 2p = 0
∴ -4p = -8
P = 2.

Solution:

= 1(6 – 18) + 1 (-6 + 6) + 0
= -12 + 0 + 0 = -12.

Question 7.
Find the volume of a tetrahedron whose vertices are A( -1, 2, 3) B(3, -2, 1), C (2, 1, 3) and D(-1, -2, 4).

Solution:


From (1) and (2), we get
\(\bar{a}\) × (\(\bar{b}\) × \(\bar{c}\)) = (\(\bar{a}\) ⋅ \(\bar{c}\))\(\bar{b}\) – (\(\bar{a}\) ⋅ \(\bar{b}\))\(\bar{c}\)

Solution:
Let θ be the angle between \(\bar{u}\) and \(\bar{v}\).
Then \(|\bar{u} \times \bar{v}|\) = 8 gives
\(|\bar{u}||\bar{v}|\) sin θ = 8

Let θ be the angle between \(\bar{u}\) and \(\bar{v}\).
Then \(\bar{u} \cdot \bar{v}\) = 12 gives
\(|\bar{u} \| \bar{v}|\)cos θ = 12

Solution:
Given : \(\bar{a}\) = \(2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\), \(\bar{b}\) = \(\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\)

Area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) is \(|\bar{a} \times \bar{b}|\) =\(\sqrt {146}\) sq units.

Question 9.

Question 10.
Find the area of parallelogram whose diagonals are determined by the vectors \(\bar{a}\) = \(3 i-\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\), and \(\bar{b}\) = \(-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\)
Solution:

Question 11.
If \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) and \(\bar{d}\) are four distinct vectors such that \(\bar{a} \times \bar{b}=\bar{c} \times \bar{d}\) and \(\bar{a} \times \bar{c}=\bar{b} \times \bar{d}\), prove that \(\bar{a}\) – \(\bar{d}\) is parallel to \(\bar{b}\) – \(\bar{c}\).
Solution:
\(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) and \(\bar{d}\) are four distinct vectors

Question 12.
If \(\bar{a}\) = \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and, \(\bar{c}\) = \(\hat{j}-\hat{k}\), find a vector \(\bar{b}\) satisfying \(\bar{a}\) × \(\bar{b}\) = \(\bar{c}\) and \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}\) = 3
Solution:
Given \(\bar{a}\) = \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\), \(\bar{c}\) = \(\hat{j}-\hat{k}\)

By equality of vectors,
z – y = 0 ….(2)
x – z = 1 ……(3)
y – x = -1 ……(4)
From (2), y = z.
From (3), x = 1 + z
Substituting these values of x and y in (1), we get
1 + z + z + z = 3 ∴ z = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ y = z = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ x = 1 + z =1 + \(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}\)

Question 13.
Find \(\bar{a}\), if \(\bar{a} \times \hat{i}+2 \bar{a}-5 \hat{j}=\overline{0}\).
Solution:

By equality of vectors
2x = 0 i.e. x = 0
2y + z – 5 = 0 … (1)
2z – y = 0 … (2)
From (2), y = 2z
Substituting y = 2z in (1), we get
4z + z = 5 ∴ z = 1
∴ y = 2z = 2(1) = 2
∴ x = 0, y = 2, z = 1
∴ \(\bar{a}=2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\)

Question 14.
If \(|\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}|\) = \(|\bar{a} \times \bar{b}|\) and \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}\) < 0, then find the angle between \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\)
Solution:
Let θ be the angle between \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\).
Then \(|\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}|\) = \(|\bar{a} \times \bar{b}|\) gives

Hence, the angle between \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) is \(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\).

Question 15.
Prove by vector method that sin (α + β) = sinα∙cosβ+cosα∙sinβ.
Solution:

Let ∠XOP and ∠XOQ be in standard position and m∠XOP = -α, m∠XOQ = β.
Take a point A on ray OP and a point B on ray OQ such that
OA = OB = 1.
Since cos (-α) = cos α
and sin (-α) = -sin α,
A is (cos (-α), sin (-α)),
i.e. (cos α, – sin α)
B is (cos β, sin β)

The angle between \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) is α + β.
Also \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) lie in the XY-plane.
∴ the unit vector perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) is \(\bar{k}\).
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) × \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = [OA∙OB sin (α + β)]\(\bar{k}\)
= sin(α + β)∙\(\bar{k}\) …(2)
∴ from (1) and (2),
sin (α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β.

Question 16.
Find the direction ratios of a vector perpendicular to the two lines whose direction ratios are
(i) -2, 1, -1 and -3, -4, 1
Solution:
Let a, b, c be the direction ratios of the vector which is perpendicular to the two lines whose direction ratios are -2, 1, -1 and -3, -4, 1
∴ -2a + b – c = 0 and -3a – 4b + c = 0

∴ the required direction ratios are -3, 5, 11
Alternative Method:
Let \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) be the vectors along the lines whose direction ratios are -2, 1, -1 and -3, -4, 1 respectively.
Then \(\bar{a}\) = \(-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}\) and \(\bar{b}\) = \(-3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\)
The vector perpendicular to both \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) is given by

Hence, the required direction ratios are -3, 5, 11.

(ii) 1, 3, 2 and -1, 1, 2
Solution:

Question 17.
Prove that two vectors whose direction cosines are given by relations al + bm + cn = 0 and fmn + gnl + hlm = 0 are perpendicular if \(\frac{f}{a}+\frac{g}{b}+\frac{h}{c}\) = 0
Solution:
Given, al + bm + cn = 0 …(1)
and fmn + gnl + hlm = 0 …..(2)
From (1), n = \(-\left(\frac{a l+b m}{c}\right)\) …..(3)
Substituting this value of n in equation (2), we get
(fm + gl)∙[latex]-\left(\frac{a l+b m}{c}\right)[/latex] + hlm = 0
∴ -(aflm + bfm² + agl² + bglm) + chlm = 0
∴ agl² + (af + bg – ch)lm + bfm² = 0 … (4)
Note that both l and m cannot be zero, because if l = m = 0, then from (3), we get
n = 0, which is not possible as l² + m² + n² = 1.
Let us take m # 0.
Dividing equation (4) by m², we get
ag\(\left(\frac{l}{m}\right)^{2}\) + (af + bg – ch)\(\left(\frac{l}{m}\right)\) + bf = 0 … (5)
This is quadratic equation in \(\left(\frac{l}{m}\right)\).
If l₁, m₁, n₁ and l₂, m₂, n₂ are the direction cosines of the two lines given by the equation (1) and (2), then \(\frac{l_{1}}{m_{1}}\) and \(\frac{l_{2}}{m_{2}}\) are the roots of the equation (5).
From the quadratic equation (5), we get

i.e. if \(\frac{f}{a}+\frac{g}{b}+\frac{h}{c}\) = 0.

Question 18.
If A(1, 2, 3) and B(4, 5, 6) are two points, then find the foot of the perpendicular from the point B to the line joining the origin and point A.
Solution:

Let M be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from B to the line joining O and A.
Let M = (x, y, z)
OM has direction ratios x – 0, y – 0, z – 0 = x, y, z
OA has direction ratios 1 – 0, 2 – 0, 3 – 0 = 1, 2, 3
But O, M, A are collinear.
∴ \(\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z}{3}\) = k …(Let)
∴ x = k, y = 2k, z = 3k
∴ M = (k, 2k, 3k)
∵ BM has direction ratios
k – 4, 2k – 5, 3k – 6
BM is perpendicular to OA
∴ (l)(k – 4) + 2(2k – 5) + 3(3k – 6)
∴ = k – 4 + 4k – 10 + 9k – 18 = 0
∴ 14k = 32
∴ k = \(\frac{16}{7}\)
∴ M = (k, 2k, 3k) = (\(\frac{16}{7}, \frac{32}{7}, \frac{48}{7}\))

12th Maths Part 1 Vectors Exercise 5.3 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Find two unit vectors each of which is perpendicular to both
\(\bar{u}\) and \(\bar{v}\), where \(\bar{u}\) = \(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\), \(\bar{v}\) = \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\)
Solution:
Let \(\bar{u}\) = \(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\)
\(\bar{v}\) = \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\)

Question 2.
If \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) are two vectors perpendicular to each other, prove that (\(\bar{a}\) + \(\bar{b}\))² = (\(\bar{a}\) – \(\bar{b}\))²
Solution:
\(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) are perpendicular to each other.

∴ LHS = RHS
Hence, (\(\bar{a}\) + \(\bar{b}\))² = (\(\bar{a}\) – \(\bar{b}\))².

Question 3.
Find the values of c so that for all real x the vectors \(x c \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(x \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 c x \hat{k}\) make an obtuse angle.
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\) = \(x c \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{b}\) = \(x \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 c x \hat{k}\)
Consider \(\bar{a}\)∙\(\bar{b}\) = \((x c \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \cdot(x \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 c x \hat{k})\)
= (xc)(x) + (-6)(2) + (3)(2cx)
= cx² – 12 + 6cx
= cx² + 6cx – 12
If the angle between \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) is obtuse, \(\bar{a}\)∙\(\bar{b}\) < 0.
∴ cx² + 6cx – 12 < 0
∴ cx² + 6cx < 12

∴ c < 0.
Hence, the angle between a and b is obtuse if c < 0.

Question 4.
Show that the sum of the length of projections of \(\hat{p} \hat{i}+q \hat{j}+r \hat{k}\) on the coordinate axes, where p = 2, q = 3 and r = 4, is 9.
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\) = \(\hat{p} \hat{i}+q \hat{j}+r \hat{k}\)
Projection of \(\bar{a}\) on X-axis

Similarly, projections of \(\bar{a}\) on Y- and Z-axes are 3 and 4 respectively.
∴ sum of these projections = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9.

Question 5.
Suppose that all sides of a quadrilateral are equal in length and opposite sides are parallel. Use vector methods to show that the diagonals are perpendicular.
Solution:


∵ \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{BD}}\) are non-zero vectors
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\) is perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{BD}}\)
Hence, the diagonals are perpendicular.

Question 6.
Determine whether \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) are orthogonal, parallel or neither.
(i) \(\bar{a}\) = \(-9 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+15 \hat{k}\), \(\bar{b}\) = \(6 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-10 \hat{k}\)
Solution:
\(\bar{a}\) = \(-9 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+15 \hat{k}\) = -3\((3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})\)
= \(-\frac{3}{2}(6 \hat{i}-4 \widehat{j}-19 \hat{k})\)
∴ \(\bar{a}\) = \(-\frac{3}{2} \bar{b}\)
i.e. \(\bar{a}\) is a non-zero scalar multiple of \(\bar{b}\)
Hence, \(\bar{a}\) is parallel to \(\bar{b}\).

(ii) \(\bar{a}\) = \(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\), \(\bar{b}\) = \(5 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\)
Solution:
\(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}\) = \((2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \cdot(5 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k})\)
= (2)(5) + (3)(-2) + (-1)(4)
= 10 – 6 – 4 = 0
Since, \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\) are non-zero vectors and \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}\) = 0, \(\bar{a}\) is orthogonal to \(\bar{b}\).

(iii) \(\bar{a}\) = \(-\frac{3}{5} \hat{i}+\frac{1}{2} \hat{j}+\frac{1}{3} \hat{k}\), \(\bar{b}\) = \(5 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\).
Solution:

= -3 + 2 + 1
= 0
Since, \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\) are non-zero vectors and \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}\) = 0
\(\bar{a}\) is orthogonal to \(\bar{b}\).

(iv) \(\bar{a}\) = \(4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+6 \hat{k}\), \(\bar{a}\) = \(5 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\)
Solution:
\(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}\) = \((4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+6 \hat{k}) \cdot(5 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k})\)
= (4)(5) + (-1)(-2) + (6)(4)
= 20 + 2 + 24
= 46 ≠ 0
∴ \(\bar{a}\) is not orthogonal to \(\bar{b}\).
It is clear that \(\bar{a}\) is not a scalar multiple of \(\bar{b}\).
∴ \(\bar{a}\) is not parallel to \(\bar{b}\).
Hence, \(\bar{a}\) is neither parallel nor orthogonal to \(\bar{b}\).

Question 7.
Find the angle P of the triangle whose vertices are P(0, -1, -2), Q(3, 1, 4) and R(5, 7, 1).
Solution:
The position vectors \(\bar{p}\), \(\bar{q}\) and \(\bar{r}\) of the points P(0, -1, -2), Q(3, 1, 4) and R(5, 7, 1) are


∴ P = 45°

Question 8.
If\(\hat{p}\), \(\hat{q}\), and \(\hat{r}\) are unit vectors, find

(i) \(\hat{p} \cdot \hat{q}\)
Solution:

Let the triangle be denoted by ABC,
where \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(\bar{p}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\) = \(\bar{q}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) = \(\bar{r}\)
∵ \(\bar{p}\), \(\bar{r}\), \(\bar{r}\) are unit vectors.
∴ l(AB) = l(BC) = l(CA) = 1
∴ the triangle is equilateral
∴ ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
(i) Using the formula for angle between two vectors,

(ii) \(\hat{p} \cdot \hat{r}\)
Solution:

Question 9.
Prove by vector method that the angle subtended on semicircle is a right angle.
Solution:
Let seg AB be a diameter of a circle with centre C and P be any point on the circle other than A and B. Then ∠APB is an angle subtended on a semicircle.
Let \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{CB}}\) = \(\bar{a}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{CP}}\) = \(\bar{r}\).
Then|\(\bar{a}\)| = |\(\bar{r}\)| …(1)

Hence, the angle subtended on a semicircle is the right angle.

Question 10.
If a vector has direction angles 45ºand 60º find the third direction angle.
Solution:
Let α = 45°, β = 60°
We have to find γ.
∴ cos²α + cos²β + cos²γ = 1
∴ cos²45° + cos²60° + cos²γ = 1

Hence, the third direction angle is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) or \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\).

Question 11.
If a line makes angles 90º, 135º, 45º with the X, Y and Z axes respectively, then find its direction cosines.
Solution:
Let l, m, n be the direction cosines of the line.
Then l = cos α, m = cos β, n = cos γ
Here, α = 90°, β = 135° and γ = 45°
∴ l = cos 90° = 0
m = cos 135° = cos (180° – 45°) = -cos 45° = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) and n = cos 45° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
∴ the direction cosines of the line are 0, \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\).

Question 12.
If a line has the direction ratios, 4, -12, 18 then find its direction cosines.
Solution:
The direction ratios of the line are a = 4, b = -12, c = 18.
Let l, m, n be the direction cosines of the line.

Question 13.
The direction ratios of \(\overline{A B}\) are -2, 2, 1. If A = (4, 1, 5) and l(AB) = 6 units, find B.
Solution:
The direction ratio of \(\overline{A B}\) are -2, 2, 1.
∴ the direction cosines of \(\overline{A B}\) are

The coordinates of the points which are at a distance of d units from the point (x₁, y₁, z₁) are given by (x₁ ± ld, y₁ ± md, z₁ ± nd)
Here x₁ = 4, y₁ = 1, z₁ = 5, d = 6, l = \(-\frac{2}{3}\), m = \(\frac{2}{3}\), n = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
∴ the coordinates of the requited points are
(4 ± \(\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)\)6, 1 ± \(\frac{2}{3}\)(6), 5 ± \(\frac{1}{3}\)(6))
i.e. (4 – 4, 1 + 4, 5 + 2) and (4 + 4, 1 – 4, 5 – 2)
i.e. (0, 5, 7) and (8, -3, 3).

Question 14.
Find the angle between the lines whose direction cosines l, m, n satisfy the equations 5l + m + 3n = 0 and 5mn – 2nl + 6lm = 0.
Solution:
Given, 5l + m + 3n = 0 …(1)
and 5mn – 2nl + 6lm = 0 …(2)
From (1), m = -(51 + 3n)
Putting the value of m in equation (2), we get,
-5(5l + 3n)n – 2nl – 6l(5l + 3n) = 0
∴ -25ln – 15n² – 2nl – 30l² – 18ln = 0
∴ – 30l² – 45ln – 15n² = 0
∴ 2l² + 3ln + n² = 0
∴ 2l² + 2ln + ln + n² = 0
∴ 2l(l + n) + n(l + n) = 0
∴ (l + n)(2l + n) = 0
∴ l + n = 0 or 2l + n = 0
l = -n or n = -2l
Now, m = -(5l + 3n), therefore, if l = -n,
m = -(-5n + 3n) = 2n
∴ -l = \(\frac{m}{2}\) = n
∴ \(\frac{l}{-1}=\frac{m}{2}=\frac{n}{1}\)
∴ the direction ratios of the first line are
a₁ = -1, b₁ = 2, c₁ = 1
If n = -2l, m = -(5l – 6l) – l
∴ l = m = \(\frac{n}{-2}\)
∴ \(\frac{l}{1}=\frac{m}{1}=\frac{n}{-2}\)
∴ the direction ratios of the second line are
a₂ = -1, b₂ = 1, c₂ = -2
Let θ be the angle between the lines.

12th Maths Part 1 Vectors Exercise 5.2 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Find the position vector of point R which divides the line joining the points P and Q whose position vectors are \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(-5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\) in the ratio 3 : 2
(i) internally
Solution:
It is given that the points P and Q have position vectors \(\bar{p}\) = \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{p}\) = \(-5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\) respectively.
(i) If R(\(\bar{r}\)) divides the line segment PQ internally in the ratio 3 : 2, by section formula for internal division,

(ii) externally.
Solution:
If R(\(\bar{r}\)) divides the line segment joining P and Q externally in the ratio 3 : 2, by section formula for external division,

∴ coordinates of R = (-19, 8, -21).
Hence, the position vector of R is \(-19 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}-21 \hat{k}\) and coordinates of R are (-19, 8, -21).

Question 2.
Find the position vector of midpoint M joining the points L (7, -6, 12) and N (5, 4, -2).
Solution:
The position vectors \(\bar{l}\) and \(\bar{n}\) of the points L(7, -6, 12) and N (5, 4, -2) are given by

∴ coordinates of M = (6, -1, 5).
Hence, position vector of M is \(6 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+5 \hat{k}\) and the coordinates of M are (6, -1, 5).

Question 3.
If the points A(3, 0, p), B (-1, q, 3) and C(-3, 3, 0) are collinear, then find
(i) The ratio in which the point C divides the line segment AB.
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{c}\) be the position vectors of A, B and C respectively.
Then \(\bar{a}\) = \(3 \hat{i}+0 \cdot \hat{j}+p \hat{k}\), \(\bar{b}\) = \(-\hat{i}+q \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{c}\) = \(-3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+0 \hat{k}\).
As the points A, B, C are collinear, suppose the point C divides line segment AB in the ratio λ : 1.
∴ by the section formula,

By equality of vectors, we have,
-3(λ + 1) = -λ + 3 … (1)
3(λ + 1 ) = λ q … (2)
0 = 3λ + p … (3)
From equation (1), -3λ – 3 = -λ + 3
∴ -2λ = 6 ∴ λ = -3
∴ C divides segment AB externally in the ratio 3 : 1.

(ii) The values of p and q.
Solution:
Putting λ = -3 in equation (2), we get
3(-3 + 1) = -3q
∴ -6 = -3q ∴ q = 2
Also, putting λ = -3 in equation (3), we get
0 = -9 + p ∴ p = 9
Hence p = 9 and q = 2.

Question 4.
The position vector of points A and B are 6\(\bar{a}\) + 2\(\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{a}\) – 3\(\bar{b}\). If the point C divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2 then show that the position vector of C is 3\(\bar{a}\) – \(\bar{b}\).
Solution:
Let \(\bar{c}\) be the position vector of C.
Since C divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2,

Hence, the position vector of C is 3\(\bar{a}\) – \(\bar{b}\).

Question 5.
Prove that the line segments joining mid-point of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral form a parallelogram.
Solution:
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral and P, Q, R, S be the midpoints of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\), \(\bar{d}\), \(\bar{p}\), \(\bar{q}\), \(\bar{r}\) and s be the position vectors of the points A, B, C, D, P, Q, R and S respectively.
Since P, Q, R and S are the midpoints of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively,


∴ □PQRS is a parallelogram.

Question 6.
D and E divide sides BC and CA of a triangle ABC in the ratio 2 : 3 respectively. Find the position vector of the point of intersection of AD and BE and the ratio in which this point divides AD and BE.
Solution:

Let AD and BE intersect at P.
Let A, B, C, D, E, P have position vectos \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\), \(\bar{d}\), \(\bar{e}\), \(\bar{p}\) respectively.
D and E divide segments BC and CA internally in the ratio 2 : 3.
By the section formula for internal division,

LHS is the position vector of the point which divides segment AD internally in the ratio 15 : 4.
RHS is the position vector of the point which divides segment BE internally in the ratio 10 : 9.
But P is the point of intersection of AD and BE.
∴ P divides AD internally in the ratio 15 : 4 and P divides BE internally in the ratio 10 : 9.
Hence, the position vector of the point of interaction of
AD and BE is \(\bar{p}\) = \(\frac{15 \bar{d}+4 \bar{a}}{19}=\frac{10 \bar{e}+9 \bar{b}}{19}\) and it divides AD internally in the ratio 15 : 4 and BE internally in the ratio 10 : 9.

Question 7.
Prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if its diagonals bisect each other.
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) and \(\bar{d}\) be respectively the position vectors of the vertices A, B, C and D of the parallelogram ABCD. Then AB = DC and side AB || side DC.

The position vectors of the midpoints of the diagonals AC and BD are (\(\bar{a}\) + \(\bar{c}\))/2 and (\(\bar{b}\) + \(\bar{d}\))/2. By (1), they are equal.
∴ the midpoints of the diagonals AC and BD are the same.
This shows that the diagonals AC and BD bisect each other.

(ii) Conversely, suppose that the diagonals AC and BD
of □ ABCD bisect each other,
i. e. they have the same midpoint.
∴ the position vectors of these midpoints are equal.
∴ \(\frac{\bar{a}+\bar{c}}{2}=\frac{\bar{b}+\bar{d}}{2}\) ∴ \(\bar{a}+\bar{c}=\bar{b}+\bar{d}\)
∴ \(\bar{b}\) – \(\bar{a}\) = \(\bar{c}\) – \(\bar{d}\) ∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{DC}}\)
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) ||\(\overline{\mathrm{DC}}\) and \(|\overline{\mathrm{AB}}|\) = \(|\overline{\mathrm{DC}}|\)
∴ side AB || side DC and AB = DC.
∴ □ ABCD is a parallelogram.

Question 8.
Prove that the median of a trapezium is parallel to the parallel sides of the trapezium and its length is half the sum of parallel sides.
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) and \(\bar{d}\) be respectively the position vectors of the vertices A, B, C and D of the trapezium ABCD, with side AD || side BC.
Then the vectors \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) are parallel.
∴ there exists a scalar k,
such that \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\) = k∙\(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\)
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) = k∙\(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\)
= (k + 1)BC …(1)

Let \(\bar{m}\) and \(\bar{n}\) be the position vectors of the midpoints M and N of the non-parallel sides AB and DC respectively.
Then seg MN is the median of the trapezium.
By the midpoint formula,

Thus \(\overline{\mathrm{MN}}\) is a scalar multiple of \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\)
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{MN}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) are parallel vectors
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{MN}}\) || \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) where \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) || \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\)
∴ the median MN is parallel to the parallel sides AD and BC of the trapezium.
Now \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) are collinear

Question 9.
If two of the vertices of the triangle are A(3, 1, 4) and B(-4, 5, -3) and the centroid of a triangle is G(-1, 2, 1), then find the coordinates of the third vertex C of the triangle.
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) and \(\bar{g}\) be the position vectors of A, B, C and G respectively.
Then \(\bar{a}\) = \(3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\), \(\bar{b}\) = \(-4 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{g}\) = \(-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\).
Since G is the centroid of the ∆ABC, by the centroid formula,

∴ the coordinates of third vertex C are (-2, 0, 2).

Question 10.
In∆OAB, E is the mid-point of OB and D is the point on AB such that AD : DB = 2 : 1.
If OD and AE intersect at P, then determine the ratio OP : PD using vector methods.
Solution:

Let A, B, D, E, P have position vectors \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{d}\), \(\bar{e}\), \(\bar{p}\) respectively w.r.t. O.
∵ AD : DB = 2 : 1.
∴ D divides AB internally in the ratio 2 : 1.
Using section formula for internal division, we get

LHS is the position vector of the point which divides OD internally in the ratio 3 : 2.
RHS is the position vector of the point which divides AE internally in the ratio 4 : 1.
But OD and AE intersect at P
∴ P divides OD internally in the ratio 3 : 2.
Hence, OP : PD = 3 : 2.

Question 11.
If the centroid of a tetrahedron OABC is (1, 2, -1) where A = (a, 2, 3), B = (1, b, 2), C = (2, 1, c) respectively, find the distance of P (a, b, c) from the origin.
Solution:
Let G = (1, 2, -1) be the centroid of the tetrahedron OABC.
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\), \(\bar{g}\) be the position vectors of the points A, B, C, G respectively w.r.t. O.

By equality of vectors
a + 3 = 4, b + 3 = 8, c + 5= -4
∴ a = 1, b = 5, c = -9
∴ P = (a, b, c) = (1, 5, -9)
Distance of P from origion = \(\sqrt{1^{2}+5^{2}+(-9)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{1+25+81}\)
= \(\sqrt{107}\)

Question 12.
Find the centroid of tetrahedron with vertices K(5, -7, 0), L(1, 5, 3), M(4, -6, 3), N(6, -4, 2) ?
Solution:
Let \(\bar{p}\), \(\bar{l}\), \(\bar{m}\), \(\bar{n}\) be the position vectors of the points K, L, M, N respectively w.r.t. the origin O.

Hence, the centroid of the tetrahedron is G = (4, -3, 2).

12th Maths Part 1 Vectors Exercise 5.1 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
The vector \(\bar{a}\) is directed due north and \(|\bar{a}|\) = 24. The vector \(\bar{b}\) is directed due west and \(|\bar{b}|\) = 7. Find \(|\bar{a}+\bar{b}|\).
Solution:

Let \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(\bar{a}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) = \(\bar{b}\)
Then \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) = a + b
Given : \(|\bar{a}|\) = \(|\overline{\mathrm{AB}}|\) = l(AB) = 24 and
\(|\bar{b}|\) = \(|\overline{\mathrm{BC}}|\) = l(BC) = 7
∴ ∠ABC = 90°
∴ [l(AC)]² = [l(AB)]² + [l(BC)]²
= (24)² + (7)² = 625
∴ l(AC) = 25 ∴ \(|\overline{\mathrm{AC}}|\) = 25
∴ \(|\bar{a}+\bar{b}|\) = \(|\overline{\mathrm{AC}}|\) = 25.

Question 2.
In the triangle PQR, \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) = 2\(\bar{a}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{QR}}\) = 2\(\bar{b}\). The mid-point of PR is M. Find following vectors in terms of \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\).
(i) \(\overline{\mathrm{PR}}\)
Solution:

Given : \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) = 2\(\bar{a}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{QR}}\) = 2\(\bar{b}\)
(i) \(\overline{\mathrm{PR}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{QR}}\)
= 2\(\bar{a}\) + 2\(\bar{a}\).

(ii) \(\overline{\mathrm{PM}}\)
Solution:
∵ M is the midpoint of PR
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{PM}}\) = \(\frac{1}{2} \overline{\mathrm{PR}}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)[2\(\bar{a}\) + 2\(\bar{b}\)]
= \(\bar{a}\) + \(\bar{b}\).

(iii) \(\overline{\mathrm{QM}}\)
Solution:
\(\overline{\mathrm{RM}}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}(\overline{\mathrm{RP}})\) = \(-\frac{1}{2} \overline{\mathrm{PR}}\) = \(-\frac{1}{2}\)(2\(\bar{a}\) + 2\(\bar{b}\))
= –\(\bar{a}\) – \(\bar{b}\)
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{QM}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{QR}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{RM}}\)
= 2\(\bar{b}\) – \(\bar{a}\) – \(\bar{b}\)
= \(\bar{b}\) – \(\bar{a}\).

Question 3.
OABCDE is a regular hexagon. The points A and B have position vectors \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) respectively, referred to the origin O. Find, in terms of \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) the position vectors of C, D and E.
Solution:

Given : \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = \(\bar{a}\), \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = \(\bar{a}\) Let AD, BE, OC meet at M.
Then M bisects AD, BE, OC.
\(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{AO}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = –\(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = –\(\bar{a}\) + \(\bar{b}\) = \(\bar{b}\) – \(\bar{a}\)
∵ OABM is a parallelogram

Hence, the position vectors of C, D and E are 2\(\bar{b}\) – 2\(\bar{a}\), 2\(\bar{b}\) – 3\(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) – 2\(\bar{a}\) respectively.

Question 4.
If ABCDEF is a regular hexagon, show that \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{AE}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{AF}}\) = 6\(\overline{\mathrm{AO}}\), where O is the center of the hexagon.
Solution:

ABCDEF is a regular hexagon.
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{ED}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AF}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{CD}}\)
∴ by the triangle law of addition of vectors,

Question 5.
Check whether the vectors \(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\), + \(-3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\), + \(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{k}\) form a triangle or not.
Solution:
Let, if possible, the three vectors form a triangle ABC
with \(\overline{A B}\) = \(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\), \(\overline{B C}\) = \(3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\), \(\overline{A C}\) = \(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{k}\)
Now, \(\overline{A B}\) + \(\overline{B C}\)
= \((2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\) + \((-3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})\)
= \(-\hat{i}+5 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k} \neq 3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{k}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}\)
Hence, the three vectors do not form a triangle.

Question 6.
In the figure 5.34 express \(\bar{c}\) and \(\bar{d}\) in terms of \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\). Find a vector in the direction of \(\bar{a}\) = \(\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}\) that has magnitude 7 units.

Solution:
\(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{PS}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{SQ}}\)
∴ \(\bar{a}\) = \(\bar{c}\) – \(\bar{d}\) … (1)
\(\overline{\mathrm{PR}}\) = \(\overline{\mathrm{PS}}\) + \(\overline{\mathrm{SR}}\)
∴ \(\bar{b}\) = \(\bar{c}\) + \(\bar{d}\) … (2)
Adding equations (1) and (2), we get
\(\bar{a}\) + \(\bar{b}\) = (\(\bar{c}\) – \(\bar{d}\)) + (\(\bar{c}\) + \(\bar{d}\)) = 2\(\bar{c}\)

Question 7.

Solution:
Let the point A be (4, -2, 6).
Then,

(b) The YZ-plane
Solution:
The distance of A from YZ-plane = |x| = 4

(c) The XZ-plane
Solution:
The distance of A from ZX-plane = |y| = 2

(d) The X-axis
Solution:
The distance of A from X-axis
= \(\sqrt{y^{2}+z^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+6^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{40}\) = \(2 \sqrt{10}\)

(e) The Y-axis
Solution:
The distance of A from Y-axis
= \(\sqrt{z^{2}+x^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{6^{2}+4^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{52}\) = \(2 \sqrt{13}\)

(f) The Z-axis
Solution:
The distance of A from Z-axis
= \(\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{4^{2}+(-2)^{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{20}\) = \(2 \sqrt{5}\)

Question 8.
Find the coordinates of the point which is located :
(a) Three units behind the YZ-plane, four units to the right of the XZ-plane and five units above the XY-plane.
Solution:
Let the coordinates of the point be (x, y, z).
Since the point is located 3 units behind the YZ- j plane, 4 units to the right of XZ-plane and 5 units , above the XY-plane,
x = -3, y = 4 and z = 5
Hence, coordinates of the required point are (-3, 4, 5)

(b) In the YZ-plane, one unit to the right of the XZ-plane and six units above the XY-plane.
Solution:
Let the coordinates of the point be (x, y, z).
Since the point is located in the YZ plane, x = 0. Also, the point is one unit to the right of XZ-plane and six units above the XY-plane.
∴ y = 1, z = 6.
Hence, coordinates of the required point are (0, 1, 6).

Question 9.
Find the area of the triangle with vertices (1, 1, 0), (1, 0, 1) and (0, 1, 1).
Solution:
Let A = (1, 1, 0), B = (1, 0, 1), C = (0, 1, 1)

Question 10.
If \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}\) and initial point A ≡ (1, 5, ,0). Find the terminal point B.
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) be the position vectors of A and B.
Given : A = (1, 5, 0) .’. \(\bar{a}\) = \(\hat{i}+5 \hat{j}\)
Now, \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) = \(2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}\)
∴ \(\bar{b}\) – \(\bar{a}\) = \(2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}\)
∴ \(\bar{b}\) = \((2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k})\) + \(\bar{a}\)
= \((2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k})\) + \((\hat{i}+5 \hat{j})\)
= \(3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+7 \hat{k}\)
Hence, the terminal point B = (3, 1, 7).

Question 11.
Show that the following points are collinear :
(i) A (3, 2, -4), B (9, 8, -10), C (-2, -3, 1).
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) be the position vectors of the points.
A = (3, 2, -4), B = (9, 8, -10) and C = (-2, -3, 1) respectively.

∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) is a non-zero scalar multiple of \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\)
∴ they are parallel to each other.
But they have the point B in common.
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) are collinear vectors.
Hence, the points A, B and C are collinear.

(ii) P (4, 5, 2), Q (3, 2, 4), R (5, 8, 0).
Solution:
Let \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) be the position vectors of the points.
P = (4, 5, 2), Q = (3, 2, 4), R = (5, 8, 0) respectively.

= 2.\(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) …[By (1)]
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) is a non-zero scalar multiple of \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\)
∴ they are parallel to each other.
But they have the point B in common.
∴ \(\overline{\mathrm{BC}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}\) are collinear vectors.
Hence, the points A, B and C are collinear.

Question 12.
If the vectors \(2 \hat{i}-q \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(4 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}\) are collinear, then find the value of q.
Solution:
The vectors \(2 \hat{i}-q \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(4 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}\) are collinear
∴ the coefficients of \(\hat{i}, \hat{j}, \hat{k}\) are proportional

Question 13.
Are the four points A(1, -1, 1), B(-1, 1, 1), C(1, 1, 1) and D(2, -3, 4) coplanar? Justify your answer.
Solution:
The position vectors \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\), \(\bar{d}\) of the points A, B, C, D are

By equality of vectors,
y = -2 ….(1)
2x – 2y = 2 … (2)
3y = 0 … (3)
From (1), y = -2
From (3), y = 0 This is not possible.
Hence, the points A, B, C, D are not coplanar.

Question 14.
Express \(-\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\) as linear combination of the vectors \(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\), \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\).
Solution:

By equality of vectors,
2x + 2y + 3 = -1
x – y + z = -3
-4x + 3y – 2z = 4
We have to solve these equations by using Cramer’s Rule
D = \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
2 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & -1 & 1 \\
-4 & 3 & -2
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2(2 – 3) – 2(-2 + 4) + 3(3 – 4)
= -2 – 4 – 3 = -9 ≠ 0

= 2(-4 + 9) – 2(4 – 12) – 1(3 – 4)
= 10 + 16 + 1 = 27

∴ \(\left|\frac{k-0}{\sqrt{1+4}}\right|\) = 3
∴ k = ± 3\(\sqrt {5}\)

II. Solve the following.
Question 1.
Find the joint equation of lines:
(i) x – y = 0 and x + y = 0
Solution:
The joint equation of the lines x – y = 0 and
x + y = 0 is
(x – y)(x + y) = 0
∴ x² – y² = 0.

(ii) x + y – 3 = 0 and 2x + y – 1 = 0
Solution:
The joint equation of the lines x + y – 3 = 0 and 2x + y – 1 = 0 is
(x + y – 3)(2x + y – 1) = 0
∴ 2x² + xy – x + 2xy + y² – y – 6x – 3y + 3 = 0
∴ 2x² + 3xy + y² – 7x – 4y + 3 = 0.

(iii) Passing through the origin and having slopes 2 and 3.
Solution:
We know that the equation of the line passing through the origin and having slope m is y = mx. Equations of the lines passing through the origin and having slopes 2 and 3 are y = 2x and y = 3x respectively.
i.e. their equations are
2x – y = 0 and 3x – y = 0 respectively.
∴ their joint equation is (2x – y)(3x – y) = 0
∴ 6x² – 2xy – 3xy + y² = 0
∴ 6x² – 5xy + y² = 0.

(iv) Passing through the origin and having inclinations 60° and 120°.
Solution:
Slope of the line having inclination θ is tan θ .
Inclinations of the given lines are 60° and 120°
∴ their slopes are m₁ = tan60° = \(\sqrt {3}\) and
m₂ = tan 120° = tan (180° – 60°)
= -tan 60° = –\(\sqrt {3}\)
Since the lines pass through the origin, their equa-tions are
y = \(\sqrt {3}\)x and y= –\(\sqrt {3}\)x
i.e., \(\sqrt {3}\)x – y = 0 and \(\sqrt {3}\)x + y = 0
∴ the joint equation of these lines is
(\(\sqrt {3}\)x – y)(\(\sqrt {3}\)x + y) = 0
∴ 3x² – y² = 0.

(v) Passing through (1, 2) amd parallel to the co-ordinate axes.
Solution:
Equations of the coordinate axes are x = 0 and y = 0
∴ the equations of the lines passing through (1, 2) and parallel to the coordinate axes are x = 1 and y =1
i.e. x – 1 = 0 and y – 2 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x – 1)(y – 2) = 0
∴ x(y – 2) – 1(y – 2) = 0
∴ xy – 2x – y + 2 = 0

(vi) Passing through (3, 2) and parallel to the line x = 2 and y = 3.
Solution:
Equations of the lines passing through (3, 2) and parallel to the lines x = 2 and y = 3 are x = 3 and y = 2.
i.e. x – 3 = 0 and y – 2 = 0
∴ their joint equation is
(x – 3)(y – 2) = 0
∴ xy – 2x – 3y + 6 = 0.

(vii) Passing through (-1, 2) and perpendicular to the lines x + 2y + 3 = 0 and 3x – 4y – 5 = 0.
Solution:
Let L₁ and L₂ be the lines passing through the origin and perpendicular to the lines x + 2y + 3 = 0 and 3x – 4y – 5 = 0 respectively.
Slopes of the lines x + 2y + 3 = 0 and 3x – 4y – 5 = 0 are \(-\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{3}{-4}=\frac{3}{4}\) respectively.
∴ slopes of the lines L₁and L₂ are 2 and \(\frac{-4}{3}\) respectively.
Since the lines L₁ and L₂ pass through the point (-1, 2), their equations are
∴ (y – y₁) = m(x – x₁)
∴ (y – 2) = 2(x + 1)
⇒ y – 1 = 2x + 2
⇒ 2x – y + 4 = 0 and
∴ (y – 2) = \(\left(\frac{-4}{3}\right)\)(x + 1)
⇒ 3y – 6 = (-4)(x + 1)
⇒ 3y – 6 = -4x + 4
⇒ 4x + 3y – 6 + 4 = 0
⇒ 4x + 3y – 2 = 0
their combined equation is
∴ (2x – y + 4)(4x + 3y – 2) = 0
∴ 8x² + 6xy – 4x – 4xy – 3y² + 2y + 16x + 12y – 8 = 0
∴ 8x² + 2xy + 12x – 3y² + 14y – 8 = 0

(viii) Passing through the origin and having slopes 1 + \(\sqrt {3}\) and 1 – \(\sqrt {3}\)
Solution:
Let l₁ and l₂ be the two lines. Slopes of l₁ is 1 + \(\sqrt {3}\) and that of l₂ is 1 – \(\sqrt {3}\)
Therefore the equation of a line (l₁) passing through the origin and having slope is
y = (1 + \(\sqrt {3}\))x
∴ (1 + \(\sqrt {3}\))x – y = 0 ..(1)
Similarly, the equation of the line (l₂) passing through the origin and having slope is
y = (1 – \(\sqrt {3}\))x
∴ (1 – \(\sqrt {3}\))x – y = 0 …(2)
From (1) and (2) the required combined equation is

∴ (1 – 3)x² – 2xy + y² = 0
∴ -2x² – 2xy + y² = 0
∴ 2x² + 2xy – y² = 0
This is the required combined equation.

(ix) Which are at a distance of 9 units from the Y – axis.
Solution:
Equations of the lines, which are parallel to the Y-axis and at a distance of 9 units from it, are x = 9 and x = -9
i.e. x – 9 = 0 and x + 9 = 0

∴ their combined equation is
(x – 9)(x + 9) = 0
∴ x² – 81 = 0.

(x) Passing through the point (3, 2), one of which is parallel to the line x – 2y = 2 and other is perpendicular to the line y = 3.
Solution:
Let L₁ be the line passes through (3, 2) and parallel to the line x – 2y = 2 whose slope is \(\frac{-1}{-2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ slope of the line L₁ is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
∴ equation of the line L₁ is
y – 2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(x – 3)
∴ 2y – 4 = x – 3 ∴ x – 2y + 1 = 0
Let L₂ be the line passes through (3, 2) and perpendicular to the line y = 3.
∴ equation of the line L₂ is of the form x = a.
Since L₂ passes through (3, 2), 3 = a
∴ equation of the line L₂ is x = 3, i.e. x – 3 = 0
Hence, the equations of the required lines are
x – 2y + 1 = 0 and x – 3 = 0
∴ their joint equation is
(x – 2y + 1)(x – 3) = 0
∴ x² – 2xy + x – 3x + 6y – 3 = 0
∴ x² – 2xy – 2x + 6y – 3 = 0.

(xi) Passing through the origin and perpendicular to the lines x + 2y = 19 and 3x + y = 18.
Solution:
Let L₁ and L₂ be the lines passing through the origin and perpendicular to the lines x + 2y = 19 and 3x + y = 18 respectively.
Slopes of the lines x + 2y = 19 and 3x + y = 18 are \(-\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{3}{1}\) = -3 respectively.
Since the lines L₁ and L₂ pass through the origin, their equations are
y = 2x and y = \(\frac{1}{3}\)x
i.e. 2x – y = 0 and x – 3y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(2x – y)(x – 3y) = 0
∴ 2x² – 6xy – xy + 3y² = 0
∴ 2x² – 7xy + 3y² = 0.

Question 2.
Show that each of the following equation represents a pair of lines.
(i) x² + 2xy – y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² + 2xy – y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h = 2, i.e. h = 1 and b = -1
∴ h² – ab = (1)² – 1(-1) = 1 + 1=2 > 0
Since the equation x² + 2xy – y² = 0 is a homogeneous equation of second degree and h² – ab > 0, the given equation represents a pair of lines which are real and distinct.

(ii) 4x² + 4xy + y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation 4x² + 4xy + y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 4, 2h = 4, i.e. h = 2 and b = 1
∴ h² – ab = (2)² – 4(1) = 4 – 4 = 0
Since the equation 4x² + 4xy + y² = 0 is a homogeneous equation of second degree and h² – ab = 0, the given equation represents a pair of lines which are real and coincident.

(iii) x² – y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² – y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h = 0, i.e. h = 0 and b = -1
∴ h² – ab = (0)² – 1(-1) = 0 + 1 = 1 > 0
Since the equation x² – y² = 0 is a homogeneous equation of second degree and h² – ab > 0, the given equation represents a pair of lines which are real and distinct.

(iv) x² + 7xy – 2y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² + 7xy – 2y² = 0
a = 1, 2h = 7 i.e., h = \(\frac{7}{2}\) and b = -2
∴ h² – ab = \(\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}\) – 1(-2)
= \(\frac{49}{4}\) + 2
= \(\frac{57}{4}\) i.e. 14.25 = 14 > 0
Since the equation x² + 7xy – 2y² = 0 is a homogeneous equation of second degree and h² – ab > 0, the given equation represents a pair of lines which are real and distinct.

(v) x² – 2\(\sqrt {3}\) xy – y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² – 2\(\sqrt {3}\) xy – y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h= -2\(\sqrt {3}\), i.e. h = –\(\sqrt {3}\) and b = 1
∴ h² – ab = (-\(\sqrt {3}\))² – 1(1) = 3 – 1 = 2 > 0
Since the equation x² – 2\(\sqrt {3}\)xy – y² = 0 is a homo¬geneous equation of second degree and h² – ab > 0, the given equation represents a pair of lines which are real and distinct.

Question 3.
Find the separate equations of lines represented by the following equations:
(i) 6x² – 5xy – 6y² = 0
Solution:
6x² – 5xy – 6y² = 0
∴ 6x² – 9xy + 4xy – 6y² = 0
∴ 3x(2x – 3y) + 2y(2x – 3y) = 0
∴ (2x – 3y)(3x + 2y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are
2x – 3y = 0 and 3x + 2y = 0.

(ii) x² – 4y² = 0
Solution:
x² – 4y² = 0
∴ x² – (2y)² = 0
∴(x – 2y)(x + 2y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are
x – 2y = 0 and x + 2y = 0.

(iii) 3x² – y² = 0
Solution:
3x² – y² = 0
∴ (\(\sqrt {3}\) x)² – y² = 0
∴ (\(\sqrt {3}\)x – y)(\(\sqrt {3}\)x + y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are
\(\sqrt {3}\)x – y = 0 and \(\sqrt {3}\)x + y = 0.

(iv) 2x² + 2xy – y² = 0
Solution:
2x² + 2xy – y² = 0
∴ The auxiliary equation is -m² + 2m + 2 = 0
∴ m² – 2m – 2 = 0

m₁ = 1 + \(\sqrt {3}\) and m₂ = 1 – \(\sqrt {3}\) are the slopes of the lines.
∴ their separate equations are
y = m₁x and y = m₂x
i.e. y = (1 + \(\sqrt {3}\))x and y = (1 – \(\sqrt {3}\))x
i.e. (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1)x – y = 0 and (\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1)x + y = 0.

Question 4.
Find the joint equation of the pair of lines through the origin and perpendicular to the lines
given by :
(i) x² + 4xy – 5y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² + 4xy – 5y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h = 4, b= -5
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by x² + 4xy – 5y² = 0.

Now, required lines are perpendicular to these lines
∴ their slopes are \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\) and \(-\frac{1}{m_{2}}\)
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\)x and y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\)x
i.e. m₁y = -x and m₂y = -x
i.e. x + m₁y = 0 and x + m₂y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x + m₁x + m₂y) = 0
∴ x² + (m₁ + m₂)xy + m₁m₂y² = 0
∴ x² + \(\frac{4}{5}\)xy – \(\frac{1}{5}\)y² = 0 …[By (1)]
∴ 5x² + 4xy – y² = 0

(ii) 2x² – 3xy – 9y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation 2x² – 3xy – 9y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 2, 2h = -3, b = -9
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by 2x² – 3xy – 9y² = 0
∴ m₁ + m₂ =\(\frac{-2 h}{b}=-\frac{3}{9}\) and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=-\frac{2}{9}\) …(1)
Now, required lines are perpendicular to these lines
∴ their slopes are \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\) and \(-\frac{1}{m_{2}}\)
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\)x and y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\)x
i.e. m₁y = -x and m₂y = -x
i.e. x + m₁y = 0 and x + m₂y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x + m₁y)(x + m₂y) = 0
∴ x² + (m₁ + m₂)xy + m₁m₂y² = 0
∴ x² + \(\left(-\frac{3}{9}\right)\)xy + \(\left(-\frac{2}{9}\right)\)y² = 0 …[By (1)]
∴ 9x² – 3xy – 2y² = 0

(iii) x² + xy – y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation x²+ xy – y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h = 1, b = -1
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by x² + xy – y² = 0
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=\frac{-1}{-1}\) and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{1}{-1}\) = -1 ..(1)
Now, required lines are perpendicular to these lines
∴ their slopes are \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\) and \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\)
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\)x and y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\)x
i.e. m₁y = -x and m₂y = -x
i.e. x + m₁y = 0 and x + m₂y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x + m₁y)(x + m₂y) = 0
∴ x² + (m₁ + m₂) + m₁m₂y² = 0
∴ x² + 1xy + (-1)y² = 0 …[By (1)]
∴ x² + xy – y² = 0

Question 5.
Find k if
(i) The sum of the slopes of the lines given by 3x² + kxy – y² = 0 is zero.
Solution:
Comparing the equation 3x² + kxy – y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 3, 2h = k, b = -1
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by 3x² + kxy – y² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=\frac{-k}{-1}\) = k
Now, m₁ + m₂ = 0 … (Given)
∴ k = 0.

(ii) The sum of slopes of the lines given by 2x² + kxy – 3y² = 0 is equal to their product.
Question is modified.
The sum of slopes of the lines given by x² + kxy – 3y² = 0 is equal to their product.
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² + kxy – 3y² = 0, with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h = k, b = -3
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by x² + kxy – 3y² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(-\frac{2 h}{b}=\frac{-k}{-3}=\frac{k}{3}\)
and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{-3}=\frac{-1}{3}\)
Now, m₁ + m₂ = m₁m₂ … (Given)
∴ \(\frac{k}{3}=\frac{-1}{3}\)
∴ k = -1.

(iii) The slope of one of the lines given by 3x² – 4xy + ky² = 0 is 1.
Solution:
The auxiliary equation of the lines given by 3x² – 4xy + ky² = 0 is km² – 4m + 3 = 0.
Given, slope of one of the lines is 1.
∴ m = 1 is the root of the auxiliary equation km² – 4m + 3 = 0.
∴ k(1)² – 4(1) + 3 = 0
∴ k – 4 + 3 = 0
∴ k = 1.

(iv) One of the lines given by 3x² – kxy + 5y² = 0 is perpendicular to the 5x + 3y = 0.
Solution:
The auxiliary equation of the lines represented by 3x² – kxy + 5y² = 0 is 5m² – km + 3 = 0.
Now, one line is perpendicular to the line 5x + 3y = 0, whose slope is \(-\frac{5}{3}\).
∴ slope of that line = m = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
∴ m = \(\frac{3}{5}\) is the root of the auxiliary equation 5
5m² – km + 3 = 0.
∴ 5\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}\) – k\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) + 3 = 0
∴ \(\frac{9}{5}-\frac{3 k}{5}\) + 3 = 0
∴ 9 – 3k + 15 = 0
∴ 3k = 24
∴ k = 8.

(v) The slope of one of the lines given by 3x² + 4xy + ky² = 0 is three times the other.
Solution:
3x² + 4xy + ky² = 0
∴ divide by x²

∴ y = mx
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}\) = m
put \(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}\) = m in equation (1)
Comparing the equation km² + 4m + 3 = 0 with ax² + 2hxy+ by² = 0, we get,
a = k, 2h = 4, b = 3
m₁ = 3m₂ ..(given condition)
m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{k}=-\frac{4}{k}\)
m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{k}\)
m₁ + m₂ = \(-\frac{4}{\mathrm{k}}\)
4m₂ = \(-\frac{4}{\mathrm{k}}\) …(m₁ = 3m₂)
m₂ = \(-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\)
m₁m₂ = \(\frac{3}{k}\)
\(3 \mathrm{~m}_{2}^{2}=\frac{3}{\mathrm{k}}\) …(m₁ = 3m₂)
\(3\left(-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^{2}=\frac{3}{\mathrm{k}}\) …(m₂ = \(-\frac{1}{k}\))
\(\frac{1}{k^{2}}=\frac{1}{k}\)
k² = k
k = 1 or k = 0

(vi) The slopes of lines given by kx² + 5xy + y² = 0 differ by 1.
Solution:
Comparing the equation kx² + 5xy +y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by²
a = k, 2h = 5 i.e. h = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=-\frac{5}{1}\) = -5
and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{k}{1}\) = k
the slope of the line differ by (m₁ – m₂) = 1 …(1)
∴ (m₁ – m₂)² = (m₁ + m₂)² – 4m₁m₂
(m₁ – m₂)² = (-5)² – 4(k)
(m₁ – m₂)² = 25 – 4k
1 = 25 – 4k ..[By (1)]
4k = 24
k = 6

(vii) One of the lines given by 6x² + kxy + y² = 0 is 2x + y = 0.
Solution:
The auxiliary equation of the lines represented by 6x² + kxy + y² = 0 is
m² + km + 6 = 0.
Since one of the line is 2x + y = 0 whose slope is m = -2.
∴ m = -2 is the root of the auxiliary equation m² + km + 6 = 0.
∴ (-2)² + k(-2) + 6 = 0
∴ 4 – 2k + 6 = 0
∴ 2k = 10 ∴ k = 5

Question 6.
Find the joint equation of the pair of lines which bisect angle between the lines given by x² + 3xy + 2y² = 0
Solution:
x² + 3xy + 2y² = 0
∴ x² + 2xy + xy + 2y² = 0
∴ x(x + 2y) + y(x + 2y) = 0
∴ (x + 2y)(x + y) = 0
∴ separate equations of the lines represented by x² + 3xy + 2y² = 0 are x + 2y = 0 and x + y = 0.
Let P (x, y) be any point on one of the angle bisector. Since the points on the angle bisectors are equidistant from both the lines,

the distance of P (x, y) from the line x + 2y = 0
= the distance of P(x, y) from the line x + y = 0

∴ 2(x + 2y)² = 5(x + y)²
∴ 2(x² + 4xy + 4y²) = 5(x² + 2xy + y²)
∴ 2x² + 8xy + 8y² = 5x² + 10xy + 5y²
∴ 3x² + 2xy – 3y² = 0.
This is the required joint equation of the lines which bisect the angles between the lines represented by x² + 3xy + 2y² = 0.

Question 7.
Find the joint equation of the pair of lies through the origin and making equilateral triangle with the line x = 3.
Solution:

Let OA and OB be the lines through the origin making an angle of 60° with the line x = 3.
∴ OA and OB make an angle of 30° and 150° with the positive direction of X-axis
∴ slope of OA = tan 30° = 1/\(\sqrt {3}\)
∴ equation of the line OA is y = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)x
∴ \(\sqrt {3}\)y = x ∴ x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y = 0
Slope of OB = tan 150° = tan (180° – 30°)
= – tan 30°= -1/\(\sqrt {3}\)
∴ equation of the line OB is y = \(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\)x
∴ \(\sqrt {3}\)y = -x ∴ x + \(\sqrt {3}\)y = 0
∴ required combined equation of the lines is
(x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y) (x + \(\sqrt {3}\)y) = 0
i.e. x² – 3y² = 0.

Question 8.
Show that the lines x² – 4xy + y² = 0 and x + y = 10 contain the sides of an equilateral triangle. Find the area of the triangle.
Solution:
We find the joint equation of the pair of lines OA and OB through origin, each making an angle of 60° with x + y = 10 whose slope is -1.
Let OA (or OB) has slope m.
∴ its equation is y = mx … (1)
Also, tan 60° = \(\left|\frac{m-(-1)}{1+m(-1)}\right|\)
∴ \(\sqrt {3}\) = \(\left|\frac{m+1}{1-m}\right|\)
Squaring both sides, we get,
3 = \(\frac{(m+1)^{2}}{(1-m)^{2}}\)
∴ 3(1 – 2m + m²) = m² + 2m + 1
∴ 3 – 6m + 3m² = m² + 2m + 1
∴ 2m² – 8m + 2 = 0
∴ m² – 4m + 1 = 0
∴ \(\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{2}\) – 4\(\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\) + 1 = 0 …[By (1)]
∴ y² – 4xy + x² = 0
∴ x² – 4xy + y\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 0 is the joint equation of the two lines through the origin each making an angle of 60° with x + y = 10
∴ x² – 4xy + y² = 0 and x + y = 10 form a triangle OAB which is equilateral.
Let seg OM ⊥^r line AB whose question is x + y = 10

Question 9.
If the slope of one of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is three times the other then prove that 3h² = 4ab.
Solution:
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(-\frac{2 h}{b}\) and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
We are given that m₂ = 3m₁
∴ m₁ + 3m₁ = \(-\frac{2 h}{b}\) 4m₁ = \(-\frac{2 h}{b}\)
∴ m₁ = \(-\frac{h}{2 b}\) …(1)
Also, m₁(3m₁) = \(\frac{a}{b}\) ∴ 3m₁² = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
∴ 3\(\left(-\frac{h}{2 b}\right)^{2}\) = \(\frac{a}{b}\) ….[By (1)]
∴ \(\frac{3 h^{2}}{4 b^{2}}=\frac{a}{b}\)
∴ 3h² = 4ab, as b ≠0.

Question 10.
Find the combined equation of the bisectors of the angles between the lines represented by 5x² + 6xy – y² = 0.
Solution:
Comparing the equation 5x² + 6xy – y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 5, 2h = 6, b = -1
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by 5x² + 6xy – y² = 0.

The separate equations of the lines are
y = m₁x and y = m₂x, where m1 ≠ m2
i.e. m₁x – y = 0 and m₁x – y = 0.
Let P (x, y) be any point on one of the bisector of the angles between the lines.
∴ the distance of P from the line m₁x – y = 0 is equal to the distance of P from the line m₂x – y = 0.

∴ (m₂² + 1)(m₁x – y)² = (m₁² + 1)(m₂x – y)²
∴ (m₂² + 1)(m₁²x² – 2m₁xy + y²) = (m₁² + 1)(m₂²x² – 2m₂xy + y²)
∴ m₁²m₂²x² – 2m₁m₁²y²xy + m₂²y² + m₁²x² – 2m₁²xy + y²
= m₁²m₂²x² – 2m₁²m₂xy + m₁²y² + m₂²x² – 2m₂xy + y²
∴ (m₁² – m₂²)x² + 2m₁m₂(m₁ – m₂)xy – 2(m₁ – m₂)xy – (m₁² – m₂²)y² = 0
Dividing throughout by m₁ – m₂ (≠0), we get,
(m₁ + m₂)x² + 2m₁m₂xy – 2xy – (m₁ + m₂)y² = 0
∴ 6x² – 10xy – 2xy – 6y² = 0 …[By (1)]
∴ 6x² – 12xy – 6y² = 0
∴ x² – 2xy – y² = 0
This is the joint equation of the bisectors of the angles between the lines represented by 5x² + 6xy – y² = 0.

Question 11.
Find a, if the sum of the slopes of the lines represented by ax² + 8xy + 5y² = 0 is twice their product.
Solution :
Comparing the equation ax² + 8xy + 5y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0,
we get, a = a, 2h = 8, b = 5
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by ax² + 8xy + 5y² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=-\frac{8}{5}\)
and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a}{5}\)
Now, (m₁ + m₂) = 2(m₁m₂)
\(-\frac{8}{5}\) = \(2\left(\frac{a}{5}\right)\)
a = -4

Question 12.
If the line 4x – 5y = 0 coincides with one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, then show that 25a + 40h +16b = 0.
Solution :
The auxiliary equation of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is bm² + 2hm + a = 0
Given that 4x – 5y = 0 is one of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
The slope of the line 4x – 5y = 0 is \(\frac{-4}{-5}=\frac{4}{5}\)
∴ m = \(\frac{4}{5}\) is a root of the auxiliary equation bm² + 2hm + a = 0.
∴ b\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2}\) + 2h\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\) + a = 0
∴ \(\frac{16 b}{25}+\frac{8 h}{5}\) + a = 0
∴ 16b + 40h + 25a = 0 i.e.
∴ 25a + 40h + 16b = 0

Question 13.
Show that the following equations represent a pair of lines. Find the acute angle between them :
(i) 9x² – 6xy + y² + 18x – 6y + 8 = 0
Solution:
Comparing this equation with
ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get,
a = 9, h = -3, b = 1, g = 9, f = -3 and c = 8.
∴ D = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
a & h & g \\
h & b & f \\
g & f & c
\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
9 & -3 & 9 \\
-3 & 1 & -3 \\
9 & -3 & 8
\end{array}\right|\)
= 9(8 – 9) + 3(-24 + 27) + 9(9 – 9)
= 9(-1) + 3(3) + 9(0)
= -9 + 9 + 0 = 0
and h² – ab = (-3)² – 9(1) = 9 – 9 = 0
∴ the given equation represents a pair of lines.
Let θ be the acute angle between the lines.

∴ tan θ = tan0°
∴ θ = 0°.

(ii) 2x² + xy – y² + x + 4y – 3 = 0
Solution:
Comparing this equation with
ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy+ c = 0, we get,
a = 2, h = \(\frac{1}{2}\), b = -1, g = \(\frac{1}{2}\), f = 2 and c = -3

= -2 + 1 + 1
= -2 + 2= 0
∴ the given equation represents a pair of lines.
Let θ be the acute angle between the lines.

∴ tan θ = tan 3
∴ θ = tan^-1(3)

(iii) (x – 3)² + (x – 3)(y – 4) – 2(y – 4)² = 0.
Solution :
Put x – 3 = X and y – 4 = Y in the given equation, we get,
X² + XY – 2Y² = 0
Comparing this equation with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, h = \(\frac{1}{2}\), b = -2
This is the homogeneous equation of second degreeand h² – ab = \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}\) – 1(-2)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) + 2 = \(\frac{9}{4}\) > 0
Hence, it represents a pair of lines passing through the new origin (3, 4).
Let θ be the acute angle between the lines.

∴ tanθ = 3 ∴ θ = tan^-1(3)

Question 14.
Find the combined equation of pair of lines through the origin each of which makes angle of 60° with the Y-axis.
Solution:

Let OA and OB be the lines through the origin making an angle of 60° with the Y-axis.
Then OA and OB make an angle of 30° and 150° with the positive direction of X-axis.
∴ slope of OA = tan 30° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
∴ equation of the line OA is
y = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = x, i.e. x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y = 0
Slope of OB = tan 150° = tan (180° – 30°)
= tan 30° = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
∴ equation of the line OB is
y = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)x, i.e. x + \(\sqrt {3}\) y = 0
∴ required combined equation is
(x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y)(x + \(\sqrt {3}\)y) = 0
i.e. x² – 3y² = 0.

Question 15.
If lines representedby ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 make angles of equal measures with the co-ordinate
axes then show that a = ± b.
OR
Show that, one of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 will make an angle of the same measure with the X-axis as the other makes with the Y-axis, if a = ± b.
Solution:

Let OA and OB be the two lines through the origin represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
Since these lines make angles of equal measure with the coordinate axes, they make angles ∝ and \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – ∝ with the positive direction of X-axis or ∝ and \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) + ∝ with thepositive direction of X-axis.
∴ slope of the line OA = m₁ = tan ∝
and slope of the line OB = m₂
= tan(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – ∝) or tan(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) + ∝)
i.e. m₂ = cot ∝ or m₂ = -cot ∝
∴ m₁m₂ – tan ∝ x cot ∝ = 1
OR m₁m₂ = tan ∝ (-cot ∝) = -1
i.e. m₁m₂ = ± 1
But m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
∴ \(\frac{a}{b}\)= ±1 ∴ a = ±b
This is the required condition.

Question 16.
Show that the combined equation of a pair of lines through the origin and each making an angle of ∝ with the line x + y = 0 is x² + 2(sec 2∝) xy + y² = 0.
Solution:
Let OA and OB be the required lines.
Let OA (or OB) has slope m.
∴ its equation is y = mx … (1)
It makes an angle ∝ with x + y = 0 whose slope is -1. m +1
∴ tan ∝ = \(\left|\frac{m+1}{1+m(-1)}\right|\)
Squaring both sides, we get,
tan²∝ = \(\frac{(m+1)^{2}}{(1-m)^{2}}\)
∴ tan²∝(1 – 2m + m²) = m² + 2m + 1
∴ tan²∝ – 2m tan²∝ + m²tan²∝ = m² + 2m + 1
∴ (tan²∝ – 1)m² – 2(1 + tan²∝)m + (tan²∝ – 1) = 0

∴ y² + 2xysec2∝ + x² = 0
∴ x² + 2(sec2∝)xy + y² = 0 is the required equation.

Question 17.
Show that the line 3x + 4y+ 5 = 0 and the lines (3x + 4y)² – 3(4x – 3y)² =0 form an equilateral triangle.
Solution:
The slope of the line 3x + 4y + 5 = 0 is \(\frac{-3}{4}\)
Let m be the slope of one of the line making an angle of 60° with the line 3x + 4y + 5 = 0. The angle between the lines having slope m and m₁ is 60°.

On squaring both sides, we get,
3 = \(\frac{(4 m+3)^{2}}{(4-3 m)^{2}}\)
∴ 3 (4 – 3m)² = (4m + 3)²
∴ 3(16 – 24m + 9m²) = 16m² + 24m + 9
∴ 48 – 72m + 27m² = 16m² + 24m + 9
∴ 11m² – 96m + 39 = 0
This is the auxiliary equation of the two lines and their joint equation is obtained by putting m = \(\frac{y}{x}\).
∴ the combined equation of the two lines is
11\(\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{2}\) – 96\(\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\) + 39 = 0
∴ \(\frac{11 y^{2}}{x^{2}}-\frac{96 y}{x}\) + 39 = 0
∴ 11y² – 96xy + 39x² = 0
∴ 39x² – 96xy + 11y² = 0.
∴ 39x² – 96xy + 11y² = 0 is the joint equation of the two lines through the origin each making an angle of 60° with the line 3x + 4y + 5 = 0.
The equation 39x² – 96xy + 11y² = 0 can be written as :
-39x² + 96xy – 11y² = 0
i.e., (9x² – 48x²) + (24xy + 72xy) + (16y² – 27y²) = 0
i.e. (9x² + 24xy + 16y²) – (48x² – 72xy + 27y²) = 0
i.e. (9x² + 24xy + 16y²) – 3(16x² – 24xy + 9y²) = 0
i.e. (3x + 4y)² – 3(4x – 3y)² = 0
Hence, the line 3x + 4y + 5 = 0 and the lines
(3x + 4y)² – 3(4x – 3y)² form the sides of an equilateral triangle.

Question 18.
Show that lines x² – 4xy + y² = 0 and x + y = \(\sqrt {6}\) form an equilateral triangle. Find its area and perimeter.
Solution:
x² – 4xy + y² = 0 and x + y = \(\sqrt {6}\) form a triangle OAB which is equilateral.
Let OM be the perpendicular from the origin O to AB whose equation is x + y = \(\sqrt {6}\)

In right angled triangle OAM,
sin 60° = \(\frac{\mathrm{OM}}{\mathrm{OA}}\) ∴ \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\mathrm{OA}}\)
∴ OA = 2
∴ length of the each side of the equilateral triangle OAB = 2 units.
∴ perimeter of ∆ OAB = 3 × length of each side
= 3 × 2 = 6 units.

Question 19.
If the slope of one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is square of the other then show that a²b + ab² + 8h³ = 6abh.
Solution:
Let m be the slope of one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
Then the other line has slope m²

Multiplying by b³, we get,
-8h³ = ab² + a²b – 6abh
∴ a²b + ab² + 8h³ = 6abh
This is the required condition.

Question 20.
Prove that the product of lengths of perpendiculars drawn from P (x₁, y₁) to the lines repersented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is \(\left|\frac{a x_{1}^{2}+2 h x_{1} y_{1}+b y_{1}^{2}}{\sqrt{(a-b)^{2}+4 h^{2}}}\right|\)
Solution:
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
∴ m¹ + m² = \(-\frac{2 h}{b}\) and m¹m² = \(\frac{a}{b}\) …(1)
The separate equations of the lines represented by
ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 are
y = m₁x and y = m₂x
i.e. m₁x – y = 0 and m₂x – y = 0
Length of perpendicular from P(x₁, ₁) on

Question 21.
Show that the difference between the slopes of lines given by (tan²θ + cos²θ )x² – 2xytanθ + (sin²θ )y² = 0 is two.
Solution:
Comparing the equation (tan²θ + cos²θ)x² – 2xy tan θ + (sin²θ) y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = tan²θ + cos²θ, 2h = -2 tan θ and b = sin2θ
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by the given equation.

Question 22.
Find the condition that the equation ay² + bxy + ex + dy = 0 may represent a pair of lines.
Solution:
Comparing the equation
ay² + bxy + ex + dy = 0 with
Ax² + 2Hxy + By² + 2Gx + 2Fy + C = 0, we get,
A = 0, H = \(\frac{b}{2}\), B = a,G = \(\frac{e}{2}\), F = \(\frac{d}{2}\), C = 0
The given equation represents a pair of lines,

i.e. if bed – ae² = 0
i.e. if e(bd – ae) = 0
i.e. e = 0 or bd – ae = 0
i.e. e = 0 or bd = ae
This is the required condition.

Question 23.
If the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 form an equilateral triangle with the line lx + my = 1 then show that (3a + b)(a + 3b) = 4h².
Solution:
Since the lines ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 form an equilateral triangle with the line lx + my = 1, the angle between the lines ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is 60°.

∴ 3(a + b)² = 4(h² – ab)
∴ 3(a² + 2ab + b²) = 4h² – 4ab
∴ 3a² + 6ab + 3b² + 4ab = 4h²
∴ 3a² + 10ab + 3b² = 4h²
∴ 3a² + 9ab + ab + 3b² = 4h²
∴ 3a(a + 3b) + b(a + 3b) = 4h²
∴ (3a + b)(a + 3b) = 4h²
This is the required condition.

Question 24.
If line x + 2 = 0 coincides with one of the lines represented by the equation x² + 2xy + 4y + k = 0 then show that k = -4.
Solution:
One of the lines represented by
x² + 2xy + 4y + k = 0 … (1)
is x + 2 = 0.
Let the other line represented by (1) be ax + by + c = 0.
∴ their combined equation is (x + 2)(ax + by + c) = 0
∴ ax² + bxy + cx + 2ax + 2by + 2c = 0
∴ ax² + bxy + (2a + c)x + 2by + 2c — 0 … (2)
As the equations (1) and (2) are the combined equations of the same two lines, they are identical.
∴ by comparing their corresponding coefficients, we get,

∴ 1 = \(\frac{-4}{k}\)
∴ k = -4.

Question 25.
Prove that the combined equation of the pair of lines passing through the origin and perpendicular to the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is bx² – 2hxy + ay² = 0
Solution:
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.

Now, required lines are perpendicular to these lines.
∴ their slopes are and \(-\frac{1}{m_{1}}\) and \(-\frac{1}{m_{2}}\)
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
y = \(-\frac{1}{m_{1}}\)x and y = \(-\frac{1}{m_{2}}\)x
i.e. m₁y= -x and m₂y = -x
i.e. x + m₁y = 0 and x + m₂y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x + m₁y)(x + m₂y) = 0
∴ x² + (m₁ + m₂)xy + m₁m₂y² = 0
∴ x²\(\frac{-2 h}{b}\)x + \(\frac{a}{b}\)y² = 0
∴ bx² – 2hxy + ay² = 0.

Question 26.
If equation ax² – y² + 2y + c = 1 represents a pair of perpendicular lines then find a and c.
Solution:
The given equation represents a pair of lines perpendicular to each other.
∴ coefficient of x² + coefficient of y² = 0
∴ a – 1 = 0 ∴ a = 1
With this value of a, the given equation is
x² – y² + 2y + c – 1 = 0
Comparing this equation with
Ax² + 2Hxy + By² + 2Gx + 2Fy + C = 0, we get,
A = 1, H = 0, B = -1, G = 0, F = 1, C = c – 1
Since the given equation represents a pair of lines,
D = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
A & H & G \\
H & B & F \\
G & F & C
\end{array}\right|\) = 0
∴ \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & -1 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & c-1
\end{array}\right|\) = 0
∴ 1(-c + 1 – 1) – 0 + 0 = 0
∴ -c = 0
∴ c = 0.
Hence, a = 1, c = 0.

12th Maths Part 1 Pair of Straight Lines Exercise 4.3 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Find the joint equation of the pair of lines:
(i) Through the point (2, -1) and parallel to lines represented by 2x² + 3xy – 9y² = 0
Solution:
The combined equation of the given lines is
2x² + 3 xy – 9y² = 0
i.e. 2x² + 6xy – 3xy – 9y² = 0
i.e. 2x(x + 3y) – 3y(x + 3y) = 0
i.e. (x + 3y)(2x – 3y) = 0
∴ their separate equations are
x + 3y = 0 and 2x – 3y = 0
∴ their slopes are m₁ = \(\frac{-1}{3}\) and m₂ = \(\frac{-2}{-3}=\frac{2}{3}\).
The slopes of the lines parallel to these lines are m₁ and m₂, i.e. \(-\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\).
∴ the equations of the lines with these slopes and through the point (2, -1) are
y + 1 = \(-\frac{1}{3}\) (x – 2) and y + 1 = \(\frac{2}{3}\)(x – 2)
i.e. 3y + 3= -x + 2 and 3y + 3 = 2x – 4
i.e. x + 3y + 1 = 0 and 2x – 3y – 7 = 0
∴ the joint equation of these lines is
(x + 3y + 1)(2x – 3y – 7) = 0
∴ 2x² – 3xy – 7x + 6xy – 9y² – 21y + 2x – 3y – 7 = 0
∴ 2x² + 3xy – 9y² – 5x – 24y – 7 = 0.

(ii) Through the point (2, -3) and parallel to lines represented by x² + xy – y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation
x² + xy – y² = 0 … (1)
with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h = 1, b = -1
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by (1).

The slopes of the lines parallel to these lines are m₁ and m₂.
∴ the equations of the lines with these slopes and through the point (2, -3) are
y + 3 = m₁(x – 2) and y + 3 = m₂(x – 2)
i.e. m₁(x – 2) – (y + 3) = 0 and m₂(x – 2) – (y + 3) = 0
∴ the joint equation of these lines is
[m₁(x – 2) – (y + 3)][m₂(x – 2) – (y + 3)] = 0
∴ m₁m₂(x – 2)² – m₁(x – 2)(y + 3) – m₂(x – 2)(y + 3) + (y + 3)² = o
∴ m₁m₂(x – 2)² – (m₁ + m₂)(x – 2)(y + 3) + (y + 3)³ = 0
∴ -(x – 2)² – (x – 2)(y + 3) + (y + 3)² = 0 …… [By (2)]
∴ (x – 2)² + (x – 2)(y + 3) – (y + 3)² = 0
∴ (x² – 4x + 4) + (xy + 3x – 2y – 6) – (y² + 6y + 9) = 0
∴ x² – 4x + 4 + xy + 3x – 2y – 6 – y² – 6y – 9 = 0
∴ x² + xy – y² – x – 8y – 11 = 0.

Question 2.
Show that equation x² + 2xy+ 2y² + 2x + 2y + 1 = 0 does not represent a pair of lines.
Solution:
Comparing the equation
x² + 2xy + 2y² + 2x + 2y + 1 = 0 with
ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get,
a = 1, h = 1, b = 2, g = 1, f = 1, c = 1.
The given equation represents a pair of lines, if
D = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
a & h & g \\
h & b & f \\
g & f & c
\end{array}\right|\) = 0 and h² – ab ≥ 0
Now, D = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
a & h & g \\
h & b & f \\
g & f & c
\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & 2 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1 (2 – 1) – 1(1 – 1) + 1 (1 – 2)
= 1 – 0 – 1 = 0
and h² – ab = (1)² – 1(2) = -1 < 0
∴ given equation does not represent a pair of lines.

Question 3.
Show that equation 2x² – xy – 3y² – 6x + 19y – 20 = 0 represents a pair of lines.
Solution:
Comparing the equation
2x² – xy – 3y² – 6x + 19y – 20 = 0
with ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get,
a = 2, h = \(-\frac{1}{2}\), b = -3, g = -3, f = \(\frac{19}{2}\), c = -20.
∴ D = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
a & h & g \\
h & b & f \\
g & f & c
\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
2 & -\frac{1}{2} & -3 \\
-\frac{1}{2} & -3 & \frac{19}{2} \\
-3 & \frac{19}{2} & -20
\end{array}\right|\)
Taking \(\frac{1}{2}\) common from each row, we get,
D = \(\frac{1}{8}\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
4 & -1 & -6 \\
-1 & -6 & 19 \\
-6 & 19 & -40
\end{array}\right|\)
= \(\frac{1}{8}\)[4(240 – 361) + 1(40 + 114) – 6(-19 – 36)]
= \(\frac{1}{8}\)[4(-121) + 154 – 6(-55)]
= \(\frac{11}{8}\)[4(-11) + 14 – 6(-5)]
= \(\frac{1}{8}\)(-44 + 14 + 30) = 0
Also h² – ab = \(\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}\) – 2(-3) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + 6 = \(\frac{25}{4}\) > 0
∴ the given equation represents a pair of lines.

Question 4.
Show the equation 2x² + xy – y² + x + 4y – 3 = 0 represents a pair of lines. Also find the acute angle between them.
Solution:
Comparing the equation
2x² + xy — y² + x + 4y — 3 = 0 with
ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c — 0, we get,
a = 2, h = \(\frac{1}{2}\), b = -1, g = \(\frac{1}{2}\), f = 2, c = – 3.
∴ D = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
a & h & g \\
h & b & f \\
g & f & c
\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{lrr}
2 & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\
\frac{1}{2} & -1 & 2 \\
\frac{1}{2} & 2 & -3
\end{array}\right|\)
Taking \(\frac{1}{2}\) common from each row, we get,
D = \(\frac{1}{8}\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
4 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & -2 & 4 \\
1 & 4 & -6
\end{array}\right|\)
= \(\frac{1}{8}\)[4(12 —16) — 1( —6 — 4) + 1(4 + 2)]
= \(\frac{1}{8}\)[4( – 4) – 1(-10) + 1(6)]
= \(\frac{1}{8}\)(—16 + 10 + 6) = 0
Also, h² – ab = \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}\) – 2(-1) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + 2 = \(\frac{9}{4}\) > 0
∴ the given equation represents a pair of lines. Let θ be the acute angle between the lines
∴ tan θ = \(\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{h^{2}-a b}}{a+b}\right|\)

Question 5.
Find the separate equation of the lines represented by the following equations :
(i) (x – 2)² – 3(x – 2)(y + 1) + 2(y + 1)² = 0
Solution:
(x – 2)² – 3(x – 2)(y + 1) + 2(y + 1)2 = 0
∴ (x – 2)² – 2(x – 2)(y + 1) – (x – 2)(y + 1) + 2(y + 1)² = 0
∴ (x – 2) [(x – 2) – 2(y + 1)] – (y + 1)[(x – 2) – 2(y + 1)] = 0
∴ (x – 2)(x – 2 – 2y – 2) – (y + 1)(x – 2 – 2y – 2) = 0
∴ (x – 2)(x – 2y – 4) – (y + 1)(x – 2y – 4) = 0
∴ (x – 2y – 4)(x – 2 – y – 1) = 0
∴ (x – 2y – 4)(x – y – 3) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are
x – 2y – 4 = 0 and x – y – 3 = 0.
Alternative Method :
(x – 2)² – 3(x – 2)(y + 1) + 2(y + 1)² = 0 … (1)
Put x – 2 = X and y + 1 = Y
∴ (1) becomes,
X² – 3XY + 2Y² = 0
∴ X² – 2XY – XY + 2Y² = 0
∴ X(X – 2Y) – Y(X – 2Y) = 0
∴ (X – 2Y)(X – Y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are
∴ X – 2Y = 0 and X – Y = 0
∴ (x – 2) – 2(y + 1) = 0 and (x – 2) – (y +1) = 0
∴ x – 2y – 4 = 0 and x – y – 3 = 0.

(ii) 10(x + 1)² + (x + 1)( y – 2) – 3(y – 2)² = 0
Solution:
10(x + 1)² + (x + 1)( y – 2) – 3(y – 2)² = 0 …(1)
Put x + 1 = X and y – 2 = Y
∴ (1) becomes
10x² + xy – 3y² = 0
10x² + 6xy – 5xy – 3y² = 0
2x(5x + 3y) – y(5x + 3y) = 0
(2x – y)(5x + 3y) = 0
5x + 3y = 0 and 2x – y = 0
5x + 3y = 0
5(x + 1) + 3(y – 2) = 0
5x + 5 + 3y – 6 = 0
∴ 5x + 3y – 1 = 0
2x – y = 0
2(x + 1) – (y – 2) = 0
2x + 2 – y + 2 = 0
∴ 2x – y + 4 = 0

Question 6.
Find the value of k if the following equations represent a pair of lines :
(i) 3x² + 10xy + 3y² + 16y + k = 0
Solution:
Comparing the given equation with
ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,
we get, a = 3, h = 5, b = 3, g = 0, f= 8, c = k.
Now, given equation represents a pair of lines.
∴ abc + 2fgh – af² – bg² – ch² = 0
∴ (3)(3)(k) + 2(8)(0)(5) – 3(8)² – 3(0)² – k(5)² = 0
∴ 9k + 0 – 192 – 0 – 25k = 0
∴ -16k – 192 = 0
∴ – 16k = 192
∴ k= -12.

(ii) kxy + 10x + 6y + 4 = 0
Solution:
Comparing the given equation with
ax² + 2 hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,
we get, a = 0, h = \(\frac{k}{2}\), b = 0, g = 5, f = 3, c = 4
Now, given equation represents a pair of lines.
∴ abc + 2fgh – af² – bg² – ch² = 0
∴ (0)(0)(4) + 2(3)(5)\(\left(\frac{k}{2}\right)\) – 0(3)² – 0(5)² – 4\(\left(\frac{k}{2}\right)^{2}\) = 0
∴ 0 + 15k – 0 – 0 – k² = 0
∴ 15k – k² = 0
∴ -k(k – 15) = 0
∴ k = 0 or k = 15.
If k = 0, then the given equation becomes
10x + 6y + 4 = 0 which does not represent a pair of lines.
∴ k ≠ o
Hence, k = 15.

(iii) x² + 3xy + 2y² + x – y + k = 0
Solution:
Comparing the given equation with
ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,
we get, a = 1, h = \(\frac{3}{2}\), b = 2, g = \(\frac{1}{2}\), f= \(-\frac{1}{2}\), c = k.
Now, given equation represents a pair of lines.


∴ 2(8k – 1) – 3(6k + 1) + 1(-3 – 4) = 0
∴ 16k – 2 – 18k – 3 – 7 = 0
∴ -2k – 12 = 0
∴ -2k = 12 ∴ k = -6.

Question 7.
Find p and q if the equation px² – 8xy + 3y² + 14x + 2y + q = 0 represents a pair of perpendicular lines.
Solution:
The given equation represents a pair of lines perpendicular to each other
∴ (coefficient of x²) + (coefficient of y²) = 0
∴ p + 3 = 0 p = -3
With this value of p, the given equation is
– 3x² – 8xy + 3y² + 14x + 2y + q = 0.
Comparing this equation with
ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we have,
a = -3, h = -4, b = 3, g = 7, f = 1 and c = q.
D = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
a & h & g \\
h & b & f \\
g & f & c
\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
-3 & -4 & 7 \\
-4 & 3 & 1 \\
7 & 1 & q
\end{array}\right|\)
= -3(3q – 1) + 4(-4q – 7) + 7(-4 – 21)
= -9q + 3 – 16q – 28 – 175
= -25q – 200= -25(q + 8)
Since the given equation represents a pair of lines, D = 0
∴ -25(q + 8) = 0 ∴ q= -8.
Hence, p = -3 and q = -8.

Question 8.
Find p and q if the equation 2x² + 8xy + py² + qx + 2y – 15 = 0 represents a pair of parallel lines.
Solution:
The given equation is
2x² + 8xy + py² + qx + 2y – 15 = 0
Comparing it with ax² + 2hxy + by² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get,
a = 2, h = 4, b = p, g = \(\frac{q}{2}\), f = 1, c = – 15
Since the lines are parallel, h² = ab
∴ (4)² = 2p ∴ P = 8
Since the given equation represents a pair of lines

i.e. – 242 + 240 + 2q + 2q – 2q² = 0
i.e. -2q² + 4q – 2 = 0
i.e. q² – 2q + 1 = 0
i.e. (q – 1)² = 0 ∴ q – 1 = 0 ∴ q = 1.
Hence, p = 8 and q = 1.

Question 9.
Equations of pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are x² – 7x+ 6 = 0 and y² – 14y + 40 = 0. Find the joint equation of its diagonals.
Solution:
Let ABCD be the parallelogram such that the combined equation of sides AB and CD is x² – 7x + 6 = 0 and the combined equation of sides BC and AD is y² – 14y + 40 = 0.
The separate equations of the lines represented by x² – 7x + 6 = 0, i.e. (x – 1)(x – 6) = 0 are x – 1 = 0 and x – 6 = 0.
Let equation of the side AB be x – 1 = 0 and equation of side CD be x – 6 = 0.
The separate equations of the lines represented by y² – 14y + 40 = 0, i.e. (y – 4)(y – 10) = 0 are y – 4 = 0 and y – 10 = 0.
Let equation of the side BC be y – 4 = 0 and equation of side AD be y – 10 = 0.

Coordinates of the vertices of the parallelogram are A(1, 10), B(1, 4), C(6, 4) and D(6, 10).
∴ equation of the diagonal AC is
\(\frac{y-10}{x-1}\) = \(\frac{10-4}{1-6}\) = \(\frac{6}{-5}\)
∴ -5y + 50 = 6x – 6
∴ 6x + 5y – 56 = 0
and equation of the diagonal BD is
\(\frac{y-4}{x-1}\) = \(\frac{4-10}{1-6}\) = \(\frac{-6}{-5}\) = \(\frac{6}{5}\)
∴ 5y – 20 = 6x – 6
∴ 6x – 5y + 14 = 0
Hence, the equations of the diagonals are 6x + 5y – 56 = 0 and 6x – 5y + 14 = 0.
∴ the joint equation of the diagonals is (6x + 5y – 56)(6x – 5y + 14) = 0
∴ 36x² – 30xy + 84x + 30xy – 25y² + 70y – 336x + 280y – 784 = 0
∴ 36x² – 25y² – 252x + 350y – 784 = 0.

Question 10.
∆OAB is formed by lines x² – 4xy + y² = 0 and the line 2x + 3y – 1 = 0. Find the equation of the median of the triangle drawn from O.
Solution:

Let D be the midpoint of seg AB where A is (x₁, y₁) and B is (x₂, y₂).
Then D has coordinates \(\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)\).
The joint (combined) equation of the lines OA and OB is x² – 4xy + y² = 0 and the equation of the line AB is 2x + 3y – 1 = 0.
∴ points A and B satisfy the equations 2x + 3y – 1 = 0
and x² – 4xy + y² = 0 simultaneously.
We eliminate x from the above equations, i.e.,
put x = \(\frac{1-3 y}{2}\) in the equation x² – 4xy + y² = 0, we get,
∴ \(\left(\frac{1-3 y}{2}\right)^{2}\) – 4\(\left(\frac{1-3 y}{2}\right)\)y + y² = 0
∴ (1 – 3y)² – 8(1 – 3y)y + 4y² = 0
∴1 – 6y + 9y² – 8y + 24y² + 4y² = 0
∴ 37y² – 14y + 1 = 0
The roots y₁ and y₂ of the above quadratic equation are the y-coordinates of the points A and B.
∴ y₁ + y₂ = \(\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{14}{37}\)
∴ y-coordinate of D = \(\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}=\frac{7}{37}\).
Since D lies on the line AB, we can find the x-coordinate of D as
2x + 3\(\left(\frac{7}{37}\right)\) – 1 = 0
∴ 2x = 1 – \(\frac{21}{37}=\frac{16}{37}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{8}{37}\)
∴ D is (8/37, 7/37)
∴ equation of the median OD is \(\frac{x}{8 / 37}=\frac{y}{7 / 37}\),
i.e., 7x – 8y = 0.

Question 11.
Find the co-ordinates of the points of intersection of the lines represented by x² – y² – 2x + 1 = 0.
Solution:
Consider, x² – y² – 2x + 1 = 0
∴ (x² – 2x + 1) – y² = 0
∴ (x – 1)² – y² = 0
∴ (x – 1 + y)(x – 1 – y) = 0
∴ (x + y – 1)(x – y – 1) = 0
∴ separate equations of the lines are
x + y – 1 = 0 and x – y +1 = 0.
To find the point of intersection of the lines, we have to solve
x + y – 1 = 0 … (1)
and x – y + 1 = 0 … (2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get,
2x = 0 ∴ x = 0
Substituting x = 0 in (1), we get,
0 + y – 1 = 0 ∴ y = 1
∴ coordinates of the point of intersection of the lines are (0, 1).

Show that lines represented by 3x² – 4xy – 3y² = 0 are perpendicular to each other.
Solution:
Comparing the equation 3x² – 4 xy – 3y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get, a = 3, 2h = -4, b = -3 Since a + b = 3 + (-3) = 0, the lines represented by 3x² – 4xy – 3y² = 0 are perpendicular to each other.

Question 2.
Show that lines represented by x² + 6xy + gy²= 0 are coincident.
The question is modified.
Show that lines represented by x² + 6xy + 9y²= 0 are coincident.
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² + 6xy + 9y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 1, 2h = 6, i.e. h = 3 and b = 9
Since h² – ab = (3)² – 1(9)
= 9 – 9 = 0, .
the lines represented by x² + 6xy + 9y² = 0 are coincident.

Question 3.
Find the value of k if lines represented by kx² + 4xy – 4y² = 0 are perpendicular to each other.
Solution:
Comparing the equation kx² + 4xy – 4y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = k, 2h = 4, b = -4
Since lines represented by kx² + 4xy – 4y² = 0 are perpendicular to each other,
a + b = 0
∴ k – 4 = 0 ∴ k = 4.

Question 4.
Find the measure of the acute angle between the lines represented by:
(i) 3x² – 4\(\sqrt {3}\)xy + 3y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation 3x² – 4\(\sqrt {3}\)xy + 3y² = 0 with
ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 3, 2h = -4\(\sqrt {3}\), i.e. h = -24\(\sqrt {3}\) and b = 3
Let θ be the acute angle between the lines.

∴ θ = 30°.

(ii) 4x² + 5xy + y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation 4x² + 5xy + y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 4, 2h = 5, i.e. h = \(\frac{5}{2}\) and b = 1.
Let θ be the acute angle between the lines.

(iii) 2x² + 7xy + 3y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation
2x² + 7xy + 3y² = 0 with
ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 2, 2h = 7 i.e. h = \(\frac{7}{2}\) and b = 3
Let θ be the acute angle between the lines.


tanθ = 1
∴ θ = tan 1 = 45°
∴ θ = 45°

(iv) (a² – 3b²)x² + 8abxy + (b² – 3a²)y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation
(a² – 3b²)x² + 8abxy + (b² – 3a²)y² = 0, with
Ax² + 2Hxy + By² = 0, we have,
A = a² – 3b², H = 4ab, B = b² – 3a².
∴ H² – AB = 16a²b² – (a² – 3b²)(b² – 3a²)
= 16a²b² + (a² – 3b²)(3a² – b²)
= 16a²b² + 3a⁴ – 10a²b² + 3b⁴
= 3a⁴ + 6a²b² + 3b⁴
= 3(a⁴ + 2a²b² + b⁴)
= 3 (a² + b²)²
∴ \(\sqrt{H^{2}-A B}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\) (a² + b²)
Also, A + B = (a² – 3b²) + (b² – 3a²)
= -2 (a² + b²)
If θ is the acute angle between the lines, then
tan θ = \(\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{H^{2}-A B}}{A+B}\right|=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{3}\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)}{-2\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)}\right|\)
= \(\sqrt {3}\) = tan 60°
∴ θ = 60°

Question 5.
Find the combined equation of lines passing through the origin each of which making an angle of 30° with the line 3x + 2y – 11 = 0
Solution:
The slope of the line 3x + 2y – 11 = 0 is m₁ = \(-\frac{3}{2}\) .
Let m be the slope of one of the lines making an angle of 30° with the line 3x + 2y – 11 = 0.
The angle between the lines having slopes m and m1 is 30°.

On squaring both sides, we get,
\(\frac{1}{3}=\frac{(2 m+3)^{2}}{(2-3 m)^{2}}\)
∴ (2 – 3m)² = 3 (2m + 3)²
∴ 4 – 12m + 9m² = 3(4m² + 12m + 9)
∴ 4 – 12m + 9m² = 12m² + 36m + 27
3m² + 48m + 23 = 0
This is the auxiliary equation of the two lines and their joint equation is obtained by putting m = \(\frac{y}{x}\).
∴ the combined equation of the two lines is
3\(\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{2}\) + 48\(\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\) + 23 = 0
∴ \(\frac{3 y^{2}}{x^{2}}+\frac{48 y}{x}\) + 23 = 0
∴ 3y² + 48xy + 23x² = 0
∴ 23x² + 48xy + 3y² = 0.

Question 6.
If the angle between lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is equal to the angle between lines represented by 2x² – 5xy + 3y² = 0 then show that 100(h² – ab) = (a + b)².
Solution:
The acute angle θ between the lines ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is given by
tan θ = \(\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{h^{2}-a b}}{a+b}\right|\) ..(1)
Comparing the equation 2x² – 5xy + 3y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 2, 2h= -5, i.e. h = \(-\frac{5}{2}\) and b = 3
Let ∝ be the acute angle between the lines 2x² – 5xy + 3y² = 0.

This is the required condition.

Question 7.
Find the combined equation of lines passing through the origin and each of which making angle 60° with the Y- axis.
Solution:

Let OA and OB be the lines through the origin making an angle of 60° with the Y-axis.
Then OA and OB make an angle of 30° and 150° with the positive direction of X-axis.
∴ slope of OA = tan 30° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
∴ equation of the line OA is
y = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = x, i.e. x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y = 0
Slope of OB = tan 150° = tan (180° – 30°)
= tan 30° = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
∴ equation of the line OB is
y = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)x, i.e. x + \(\sqrt {3}\) y = 0
∴ required combined equation is
(x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y)(x + \(\sqrt {3}\)y) = 0
i.e. x² – 3y² = 0.

12th Maths Part 1 Pair of Straight Lines Exercise 4.1 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Find the combined equation of the following pairs of lines:
(i) 2x + y = 0 and 3x – y = 0
Solution:
The combined equation of the lines 2x + y = 0 and 3x – y = 0 is
(2x + y)( 3x – y) = 0
∴ 6x² – 2xy + 3xy – y² = 0
∴ 6x² – xy – y² = 0.

(ii) x + 2y – 1 = 0 and x – 3y + 2 = 0
Solution:
The combined equation of the lines x + 2y – 1 = 0 and x – 3y + 2 = 0 is
(x + 2y – 1)(x – 3y + 2) = 0
∴ x² – 3xy + 2x + 2xy – 6y² + 4y – x + 3y – 2 = 0
∴ x² – xy – 6y² + x + 7y – 2 = 0.

(iii) Passing through (2, 3) and parallel to the co-ordinate axes.
Solution:
Equations of the coordinate axes are x = 0 and y = 0.
∴ the equations of the lines passing through (2, 3) and parallel to the coordinate axes are x = 2 and
i.e. x – 2 = 0 and y – 3 = 0.
∴ their combined equation is
(x – 2)(y – 3) = 0.
∴ xy – 3x – 2y + 6 = 0.

(iv) Passing through (2, 3) and perpendicular to lines 3x + 2y – 1 = 0 and x – 3y + 2 = 0
Solution:
Let L₁ and L₂ be the lines passing through the point (2, 3) and perpendicular to the lines 3x + 2y – 1 = 0 and x – 3y + 2 = 0 respectively.
Slopes of the lines 3x + 2y – 1 = 0 and x – 3y + 2 = 0 are \(\frac{-3}{2}\) and \(\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}\) respectively.
∴ slopes of the lines L₁ and L₂ are \(\frac{2}{3}\) and -3 respectively.
Since the lines L₁ and L₂ pass through the point (2, 3), their equations are
y – 3 = \(\frac{2}{3}\)(x – 2) and y – 3 = -3 (x – 2)
∴ 3y – 9 = 2x – 4 and y – 3= -3x + 6
∴ 2x – 3y + 5 = 0 and 3x – y – 9 = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(2x – 3y + 5)(3x + y – 9) = 0
∴ 6x² + 2xy – 18x – 9xy – 3y² + 27y + 15x + 5y – 45 = 0
∴ 6x² – 7xy – 3y² – 3x + 32y – 45 = 0.

(v) Passsing through (-1, 2),one is parallel to x + 3y – 1 = 0 and the other is perpendicular to 2x – 3y – 1 = 0.
Solution:
Let L₁ be the line passing through (-1, 2) and parallel to the line x + 3y – 1 = 0 whose slope is –\(\frac{1}{3}\).
∴ slope of the line L₁ is –\(\frac{1}{3}\)
∴ equation of the line L₁ is
y – 2 = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)(x + 1)
∴ 3y – 6 = -x – 1
∴ x + 3y – 5 = 0
Let L₂ be the line passing through (-1, 2) and perpendicular to the line 2x – 3y – 1 = 0
whose slope is \(\frac{-2}{-3}=\frac{2}{3}\).
∴ slope of the line L₂ is –\(\frac{3}{2}\)
∴ equation of the line L₂ is
y – 2= –\(\frac{3}{2}\)(x + 1)
∴ 2y – 4 = -3x – 3
∴ 3x + 2y – 1 = 0
Hence, the equations of the required lines are
x + 3y – 5 = 0 and 3x + 2y – 1 = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x + 3y – 5)(3x + 2y – 1) = 0
∴ 3x² + 2xy – x + 9xy + 6y² – 3y – 15x – 10y + 5 = 0
∴ 3x² + 11xy + 6y² – 16x – 13y + 5 = 0

Question 2.
Find the separate equations of the lines represented by following equations:
(i) 3y² + 7xy = 0
Solution:
3y² + 7xy = 0
∴ y(3y + 7x) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are y = 0 and 7x + 3y = 0.

(ii) 5x² – 9y² = 0
Solution:
5x² – 9y² = 0
∴ (\(\sqrt {5}\) x)² – (3y)² = 0
∴ (\(\sqrt {5}\)x + 3y)(\(\sqrt {5}\)x – 3y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are
\(\sqrt {5}\)x + 3y = 0 and \(\sqrt {5}\)x – 3y = 0.

(iii) x² – 4xy = 0
Solution:
x² – 4xy = 0
∴ x(x – 4y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are x = 0 and x – 4y = 0

(iv) 3x² – 10xy – 8y² = 0
Solution:
3x² – 10xy – 8y² = 0
∴ 3x² – 12xy + 2xy – 8y² = 0
∴ 3x(x – 4y) + 2y(x – 4y) = 0
∴ (x – 4y)(3x +2y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are x – 4y = 0 and 3x + 2y = 0.

(v) 3x² – \(2 \sqrt{3}\) xy – 3y² = 0
Solution:
3x² – 2\(\sqrt {3}\)xy – 3y2 = 0
∴ 3x² – 3\(\sqrt {3}\)xy + \(\sqrt {3}\)xy – 3y² = 0
∴ 3x(x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y) + \(\sqrt {3}\)y(x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y) = 0
∴ (x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y)(3x + \(\sqrt {3}\)y) = 0
∴ the separate equations of the lines are
∴ x – \(\sqrt {3}\)y = 0 and 3x + \(\sqrt {3}\)y = 0.

(vi) x² + 2(cosec ∝)xy + y² = 0
Solution:
x² + 2 (cosec ∝)xy – y² = 0
i.e. y² + 2(cosec∝)xy + x² = 0
Dividing by x², we get,

∴ the separate equations of the lines are
(cosec ∝ – cot ∝)x + y = 0 and (cosec ∝ + cot ∝)x + y = 0.

(vii) x² + 2xy tan ∝ – y² = 0
Solution:
x² + 2xy tan ∝ – y² = 0
Dividind by y²

The separate equations of the lines are
(sec∝ – tan ∝)x + y = 0 and (sec ∝ + tan ∝)x – y = 0

Question 3.
Find the combined equation of a pair of lines passing through the origin and perpendicular
to the lines represented by following equations :
(i) 5x² – 8xy + 3y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation 5x² – 8xy + 3y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 5, 2h = -8, b = 3
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by 5x² – 8xy + 3y² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=\frac{8}{3}\)
amd m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{5}{3}\) …(1)
Now required lines are perpendicular to these lines
∴ their slopes are -1 /m₁ and -1/m₂ Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\)x and y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\)x
i.e. m₁y = -x and m₂y = -x
i.e. x + m₁y = 0 and x + m₂y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x + m₁y) (x + m₂y) = 0
∴ x² + (m₁ + m₂)xy + m₁m₂y² = 0
∴ x² + \(\frac{8}{3}\)xy + \(\frac{5}{3}\)y² = 0 … [By (1)]
∴ x² + 8xy + 5y\(\frac{8}{3}\) = 0

(ii) 5x² + 2xy – 3y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation 5x² + 2xy – 3y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 5, 2h = 2, b = -3
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by 5x² + 2xy – 3y² = 0
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=\frac{-2}{-3}=\frac{2}{3}\) and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{5}{-3}\) ..(1)
Now required lines are perpendicular to these lines
∴ their slopes are \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\) and \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\)
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
y = \(\frac{-1}{\mathrm{~m}_{1}}\)x and y = \(\frac{-1}{\mathrm{~m}_{2}}\)x
i.e. m₁y = -x amd m₂y = -x
i.e. x + m₁y = 0 and x + m₂y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
∴ (x + m₁y)(x + m₂y) = 0
x² + (m₁ + m₂)xy + m₁m₂y² = 0
∴ x² + \(\frac{2}{3}\)xy – \(\frac{5}{3}\)y = 0 …[By (1)]
∴ 3x² + 2xy – 5y² = 0

(iii) xy + y² = 0
Solution:
Comparing the equation xy + y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get,
a = 0, 2h = 1, b = 1
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by xy + y² = 0

Now required lines are perpendicular to these lines
∴ their slopes are \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\) and \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\).
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{1}}\)x and y = \(\frac{-1}{m_{2}}\)x
i.e. m₁y = -x and m₂y = -x
i.e. x + m₁y = 0 and x + m₂y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
(x + m₁y) (x + m₂y) = 0
∴ x² + (m₁ + m₂)xy + m₁m₂y² = 0
∴ x² – xy = 0.y² = 0 … [By (1)]
∴ x² – xy = 0.
Alternative Method :
Consider xy + y² = 0
∴ y(x + y) = 0
∴ separate equations of the lines are y = 0 and
3x² + 8xy + 5y² = 0.
x + y = 0.
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of these lines.
Then m₁ = 0 and m₂ = -1
Now, required lines are perpendicular to these lines.
∴ their slopes are \(-\frac{1}{m_{1}}\) and \(-\frac{1}{m_{2}}\)
Since, m₁ = 0, \(-\frac{1}{m_{1}}\) does not exist.
Also, m₂ = -1, \(-\frac{1}{m_{2}}\) = 1
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are x = 0 and y = x,
i.e. x – y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
x(x – y) = 0
x² – xy = 0.

(iv) 3x² – 4xy = 0
Solution:
Consider 3x² – 4xy = 0
∴ x(3x – 4y) = 0
∴ separate equations of the lines are x = 0 and 3x – 4y = 0.
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of these lines.
Then m₁ does not exist and and m₁ = \(\frac{3}{4}\).
Now, required lines are perpendicular to these lines.
∴ their slopes are \(-\frac{1}{m_{1}}\) and \(-\frac{1}{m_{2}}\).
Since m₁ does not exist, \(-\frac{1}{m_{1}}\) = 0
Also m₂ = \(\frac{3}{4^{\prime}}-\frac{1}{m_{2}}=-\frac{4}{3}\)
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are y = 0 and y = \(-\frac{4}{3}\)x,
i.e.   4x + 3y = 0
∴ their combined equation is
y(4x + 3y) = 0
∴ 4xy + 3y² = 0.

Question 4.
Find k if,
(i) the sum of the slopes of the lines represented by x² + kxy – 3y² = 0 is twice their product.
Solution:
Comparing the equation x² + kxy – 3y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get, a = 1, 2h = k, b = -3.
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by x² + kxy – 3y² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=-\frac{k}{(-3)}=\frac{k}{3}\)
and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{(-3)}=-\frac{1}{3}\)
Now, m₁ + m₂ = 2(m₁m₂) ..(Given)
∴ \(\frac{k}{3}=2\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)\) ∴ k = -2

(ii) slopes of lines represent by 3x² + kxy – y² = 0 differ by 4.
Solution:
(ii) Comparing the equation 3x² + kxy – y² = 0 with ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get, a = 3, 2h = k, b = -1.
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by 3x² + kxy – y² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=-\frac{k}{-1}\) = k
and m₁₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{-1}\) = -3
∴ (m₁ – m₂)² = (m₁ + m₂)² – 4m₁m₂
= k² – 4 (-3)
= k² + 12 … (1)
But |m₁ – m₂| =4
∴ (m₁ – m₂)² = 16 … (2)
∴ from (1) and (2), k² + 12 = 16
∴ k² = 4 ∴ k= ±2.

(iii) slope of one of the lines given by kx² + 4xy – y² = 0 exceeds the slope of the other by 8.
Solution:
Comparing the equation kx² + 4xy – y² = 0 with ² + 2hxy + by² = 0, we get, a = k, 2h = 4, b = -1. Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by kx² + 4xy – y² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}=\frac{-4}{-1}\) = 4
and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{k}{-1}\) = -k
We are given that m₂ = m₁ + 8
m₁ + m₁ + 8 = 4
∴ 2m₁ = -4 ∴ m₁ = -2 … (1)
Also, m₁(m₁ + 8) = -k
(-2)(-2 + 8) = -k … [By(1)]
∴ (-2)(6) = -k
∴ -12= -k ∴ k = 12.

Question 5.
Find the condition that :
(i) the line 4x + 5y = 0 coincides with one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
Solution:
The auxiliary equation of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is bm² + 2hm + a = 0.
Given that 4x + 5y = 0 is one of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
The slope of the line 4x + 5y = 0 is \(-\frac{4}{5}\).
∴ m = \(-\frac{4}{5}\) is a root of the auxiliary equation bm² + 2hm + a = 0.
∴ b\(\left(-\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2}\) + 2h\(\left(-\frac{4}{5}\right)\) + a = 0
∴ \(\frac{16 b}{25}-\frac{8 h}{5}\) + a = 0
∴ 16b – 40h + 25a = 0
∴ 25a + 16b = 40k.
This is the required condition.

(ii) the line 3x + y = 0 may be perpendicular to one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
Solution:
The auxiliary equation of the lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is bm² + 2hm + a = 0.
Since one line is perpendicular to the line 3x + y = 0
whose slope is \(-\frac{3}{1}\) = -3
∴ slope of that line = m = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
∴ m = \(\frac{1}{3}\)is the root of the auxiliary equation bm² + 2hm + a = 0.
∴ b\(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}\) + 2h\(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\) + a = 0
∴ \(\frac{b}{9}+\frac{2 h}{3}\) + a = 0
∴ b + 6h + 9a = 0
∴ 9a + b + 6h = 0
This is the required condition.

Question 6.
If one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is perpendicular to px + qy = 0 then show that ap² + 2hpq + bq² = 0.
Solution:
To prove ap² + 2hpq + bq² = 0.
Let the slope of the pair of straight lines ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 be m₁ and m₂
Then, m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{-2 h}{b}\) and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
Slope of the line px + qy = 0 is \(\frac{-p}{q}\)
But one of the lines of ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is perpendicular to px + qy = 0

⇒ bq² + ap² = -2hpq
⇒ ap² + 2hpq + bq² = 0

Question 7.
Find the combined equation of the pair of lines passing through the origin and making an equilateral triangle with the line y = 3.
Solution:
Let OA and OB be the lines through the origin making.an angle of 60° with the line y = 3.
∴ OA and OB make an angle of 60° and 120° with the positive direction of X-axis.
∴ slope of OA = tan60° = \(\sqrt {3}\)
∴ equation of the line OA is
y = \(\sqrt {3}\) x, i.e. \(\sqrt {3}\) x – y = 0

Slope of OB = tan 120° = tan (180° – 60°)
= -tan 60°= –\(\sqrt {3}\)
∴ equation of the line OB is
y = –\(\sqrt {3}\) x, i.e. \(\sqrt {3}\) x + y = 0
∴ required joint equation of the lines is
(\(\sqrt {3}\) x – y)(\(\sqrt {3}\) x + y) = 0
i.e. 3x² – y² = 0.

Question 8.
If slope of one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is four times the other then show that 16h² = 25ab.
Solution:
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = \(-\frac{2 h}{b}\)
and m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
We are given that m₂ = 4m₁

∴ 16h² = 25ab
This is the required condition.

Question 9.
If one of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 bisects an angle between co-ordinate axes then show that (a + b) ² = 4h².
Solution:
The auxiliary equation of the lines given by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 is bm² + 2hm + a = 0.
Since one of the line bisects an angle between the coordinate axes, that line makes an angle of 45° or 135° with the positive direction of X-axis.
∴ slope of that line = tan45° or tan 135°
∴ m = tan45° = 1
or m = tan 135° = tan (180° – 45°)
= -tan 45°= -1
∴ m = ±1 are the roots of the auxiliary equation bm² + 2hm + a = 0.
∴ b(±1)² + 2h(±1) + a = 0
∴ b ± 2h + a = 0
∴ a + b = ±2h
∴ (a + b)² = 4h²
This is the required condition.

Since , tan θ + tan 2θ + tan 3θ = tan θ ∙ tan 2θ ∙ tan 3θ,
we get, tan (θ + 2θ + 3θ) = θ

II: Solve the following
Question 1.
Find the principal solutions of the following equations :
(i) sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution:
sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
Since, θ ∈ (0, 2π), 2∈ ∈ (0, 4π)

(ii) tan3θ = -1
Solution:
Since, θ ∈ (0, 2π), 3∈ ∈ (0, 6π)

… [∵ tan(π – θ) = tan(2π – θ) = tan(3π – θ)
= tan (4π – θ) = tan (5π – θ) = tan (6π – θ) = -tan θ]
∴ tan3θ = tan\(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{11 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{15 \pi}{4}\)

(iii) cotθ = 0
Solution:
cotθ = 0
Since θ ∈ (0, 2π),
cotθ = 0 = cot \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = cot (π + \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) …[∵ cos(π + θ) = cotθ]
∴ cotθ = cot\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = cot\(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
∴ θ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or θ = \(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
Hence, the required principal solutions are \(\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right\}\)

Question 2.
Find the principal solutions of the following equations :
(i) sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Solution:

(ii) tan5θ = -1
Solution:

(iii) cot2θ = 0
Solution:

Question 3.
Which of the following equations have no solutions ?
(i) cos 2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Solution:
cos 2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Since \(\frac{1}{3}\) ≤ cosθ ≤ 1 for any θ
cos2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\) has solution

(ii) cos² θ = -1
Solution:
cos2θ = -1
This is not possible because cos2θ ≥ 0 for any θ.
∴ cos2θ = -1 does not have any solution.

(iii) 2 sinθ = 3
Solution:
2 sin θ = 3 ∴ sin θ = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
This is not possible because -1 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1 for any θ.
∴ 2 sin θ = 3 does not have any solution.

(iv) 3 sin θ = 5
Solution:
3 sin θ = 5
∴ sin θ = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
This is not possible because -1 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1 for any θ.
∴ 3 sin θ = 5 does not have any solution.

Question 4.
Find the general solutions of the following equations :
(i) tanθ = \(-\sqrt {x}\)
Solution:
The general solution of tan θ = tan ∝ is
θ = nπ + ∝, n ∈ Z.
Now, tanθ = \(-\sqrt {x}\)
∴ tanθ = tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) …[∵ tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)]
∴ tanθ = tan\(\left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\) …[∵ tan(π – θ) = -tanθ]
∴ tanθ = tan\(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
∴ the required general solution is
θ = nπ + \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\), n ∈ Z.

(ii) tan²θ = 3
Solution:
The general solution of tan²θ = tan²∝ is
θ = nπ ± ∝, n ∈ Z.
Now, tan²θ = 3 = (\(\sqrt {x}\))²
∴ tan²θ = (tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\))² …[∵ tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)]
∴ tan²θ = tan²\(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
∴ the required general solution is
θ = nπ ± \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), n ∈ Z.

(iii) sin θ – cosθ = 1
Solution:
∴ cosθ – sin θ = -1

(iv) sin²θ – cos²θ = 1
Solution:
sin²θ – cos²θ = 1
∴ cos²θ – sin²θ = -1
∴ cos2θ = cosπ …(1)
The general solution of cos θ = cos ∝ is
θ = 2nπ ± ∝, n ∈ Z
∴ the general solution of (1) is given by
2θ = 2nπ ± π, n ∈ Z
∴ θ = nπ ± \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), n ∈ Z

Question 5.
In ∆ABC prove that cos \(\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{a+b}{c}\right)\) sin \(\frac{C}{2}\)
Solution:
By the sine rule,

Question 6.
With usual notations prove that \(\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (A+B)}=\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{c^{2}}\).
Solution:
By the sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC

Question 7.
In ∆ABC prove that (a – b)² 2cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a + b)² sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) = c².
Solution:
LHS (a – b)² 2cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a + b)² sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)
= (a² + b² – 2ab) cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a² + b² + 2ab) sin\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)²
= (a² + b²) cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) – 2ab cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a² + b²) sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + 2ab sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)
= (a² + b²) (cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)) – 2ab(cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) – sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\))
= a² + b² – 2ab cos C
= c² = RHS.

Question 8.
In ∆ABC if cosA = sin B – cos C then show that it is a right angled triangle.
Solution:
cos A= sin B – cos C
∴ cos A + cos C = sin B

∴ A – C = B
∴ A = B + C
∴ A + B + C = 180° gives
A + A = 180°
∴ 2A = 180 ∴ A = 90°
∴ ∆ ABC is a rightangled triangle.

Question 9.
If \(\frac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (B-C)}\) then show that a², b², c², are in A.P.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{C}}{c}\) = k
∴ sin A = ka, sin B = kb,sin C = kc
Now, \(\frac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (B-C)}\)
∴ sinA∙sin(B – C) = sinC∙sin(A -B)
∴ sin [π – (B + C)] ∙ sin (B – C)
= sin [π – (A + B)]∙sin (A – B) … [∵ A + B + C = π]
∴ sin(B + C) ∙ sin(B – C) = sin (A + B) ∙ sin (A – B)
∴ sin²B – sin²C = sin²A – sin²B
∴ 2 sin²B = sin²A + sin²C
∴ 2k²b² = k²a² + k²c²
∴ 2b² = a² + c²
Hence, a², b², c² are in A.P.

Question 10.
Solve the triangle in which a = (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1), b = (\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) and ∠C = 60°.
Solution:
Given : a = \(\sqrt {3}\) + 1, b = \(\sqrt {3}\) – 1 and ∠C = 60°.
By cosine rule,
c² = a² + b² – 2ab cos C
= (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1)² + (\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1)² – 2(\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1)(\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1)cos60°
= 3 + 1 + 2\(\sqrt {3}\) + 3+ 1 – 2\(\sqrt {3}\) – 2(3 – 1)\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
= 8 – 2 = 6
∴ c = \(\sqrt {6}\) …[∵ c > 0)
By sine rule,

∴ sin A = sin 60° cos 45° + cos 60° sin 45°
and sin B = sin 60° cos 45° – cos 60° sin 45°
∴ sin A = sin (60° + 45°) – sin 105°
and sin B = sin (60° – 45°) = sin 15°
∴ A = 105° and B = 15°
Hence, A = 105°, B 15° and C = \(\sqrt {6}\) units.

Question 11.
In ∆ABC prove the following :
(i) a sin A – b sin B = c sin (A – B)
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC,
LHS = a sin A – b sinB
= ksinA∙sinA – ksinB∙sinB
= k (sin²A – sin²B)
= k (sin A + sin B)(sin A – sin B)

= k × sin (A + B) × sin (A – B)
= ksin(π – C)∙sin(A – B) … [∵ A + B + C = π]
= k sinC∙sin (A – B)
= c sin (A – B) = RHS.

(ii) \(\frac{c-b \cos A}{b-c \cos A}=\frac{\cos B}{\cos C}\).
Solution:

(iii) a² sin (B – C) = (b² – c²) sinA
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC
RHS = (b² – c²) sin A
= (k²sin²B – k²sin²C)sin A
= k²(sin²B – sin²C) sin A
= k²(sin B + sin C)(sin B – sin C) sin A

= k² × sin (B + C) × sin (B – C) × sin A
= k²∙sin(π – A)∙sin(B – C)∙sinA … [∵ A + B + C = π]
= k²sin A∙sin (B – C)∙sin A
= (k sin A)²∙sin (B – C)
= a²sin (B – C) = LHS.

(iv) ac cos B – bc cos A = (a² – b²).
Solution:
LHS = ac cos B – bc cos A
= ac\(\left(\frac{c^{2}+a^{2}-b^{2}}{2 c a}\right)\) – bc\(\left(\frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}\right)\)
=\(\frac{1}{2}\)(c² + a² – b²) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)(b² + c² – a²)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(c² + a² – b² – b² – c² + a²)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(2a² – 2b²) = a² – b2 = RHS.

(v) \(\frac{\cos A}{a}+\frac{\cos B}{b}+\frac{\cos C}{c}=\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}{2 a b c}\) .
Solution:

(vi) \(\frac{\cos 2 \mathrm{~A}}{a^{2}}-\frac{\cos 2 \mathrm{~B}}{b^{2}}=\frac{1}{a^{2}}-\frac{1}{b^{2}}\).
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}=\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\)

(vii) \(\frac{b-c}{a}=\frac{\tan \frac{B}{2}-\tan \frac{C}{2}}{\tan \frac{B}{2}+\tan \frac{C}{2}}\)
Solution:
By sine rule,

Question 12.
In ∆ABC if a², b², c², are in A.P. then cot\(\frac{A}{2}\), cot\(\frac{B}{2}\), cot\(\frac{C}{2}\) are also in A.P.
Question is modified
In ∆ABC if a, b, c, are in A.P. then cot\(\frac{A}{2}\), cot\(\frac{B}{2}\), cot\(\frac{C}{2}\) are also in A.P.
Solution:
a, b, c, are in A.P.
∴ 2b = a + c …(1)

Question 13.
In ∆ABC if ∠C = 90º then prove that sin(A – B) = \(\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\)
Solution:
In ∆ABC, if ∠C = 90º
∴ c² = a² + b² …(1)
By sine rule,

Question 14.
In ∆ABC if \(\frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}\), then show that it is an isosceles triangle.
Solution:
Given : \(\frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}\) ….(1)
By sine rule,

∴ sin A cos B = cos A sinB
∴ sinA cosB – cosA sinB = 0
∴ sin (A – B) = 0 = sin0
∴ A – B = 0 ∴ A = B
∴ the triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Question 15.
In ∆ABC if sin²A + sin²B = sin²C then prove that the triangle is a right angled triangle.
Question is modified
In ∆ABC if sin²A + sin²B = sin²C then show that the triangle is a right angled triangle.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{C}}{c}\) = k
∴ sin A = ka, sinB = kb, sin C = kc
∴ sin²A + sin²B = sin²C
∴ k²a² + k²b² = k²c²
∴ a² + b² = c²
∴ ∆ABC is a rightangled triangle, rightangled at C.

Question 16.
In ∆ABC prove that a²(cos²B – cos²C) + b²(cos²C – cos²A) + c²(cos²A – cos²B) = 0.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
LHS = a²(cos²B – cos²C) + b²( cos²C – cos²A) + c²(cos²A – cos²B)
= k²sin²A [(1 – sin²B) – (1 – sin²C)] + k²sin²B [(1 – sin²C) – (1 – sin²A)] + k²sin²C[(1 – sin²A) – (1 – sin²B)]
= k²sin²A (sin²C – sin²B) + k²sin²B(sin²A – sin²C) + k²sin²C (sin²B – sin²A)
= k²(sin²A sin²C – sin²Asin²B + sin²A sin²B – sin²B sin²C + sin²B sin²C – sin²A sin²C)
= k²(0) = 0 = RHS.

Question 17.
With usual notations show that (c² – a² + b²) tan A = (a² – b² + c²) tan B = (b² – c² + a²) tan C.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin A}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin B}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin C}\) = k
∴ a = fksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC


From (1), (2) and (3), we get
(c² – a² + b²) tan A = (a² – b² + c²) tan B
= (b² – c² + a²) tan C.

Question 18.
In ∆ABC, if a cos²\(\frac{C}{2}\) + c cos²\(\frac{A}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 b}{2}\), then prove that a , b ,c are in A.P.
Solution:
a cos²\(\frac{C}{2}\) + c cos²\(\frac{A}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 b}{2}\)

∴ a + c + b = 3b …[∵ a cos C + c cos A = b]
∴ a + c = 2b
Hence, a, b, c are in A.P.

Question 19.
Show that 2 sin^-1\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) = tan^-1\(\left(\frac{24}{7}\right)\).
Solution:
Let sin²\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) = x.



∴ tan^-1\(\left(\frac{24}{7}\right)\) = RHS

Question 20.
Show that tan^-1\(\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)\) + tan^-1\(\left(\frac{1}{7}\right)\) + tan^-1\(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\) + tan^-1\(\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)\) = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\).
Solution:

Question 29.
If tan^-12x + tan^-13x = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), then find the value of x.
Question is modified
If tan^-12x + tan^-13x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), then find the value of x.
Solution:
tan^-12x + tan^-13x = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
∴ tan^-1\(\left(\frac{2 x+3 x}{1-2 x \times 3 x}\right)\) = tan\(\frac{\pi}{4}\), where 2x > 0, 3x > 0
∴ \(\frac{5 x}{1-6 x^{2}}\) = tan\(\frac{\pi}{4}\) = 1
∴ 5x = 1 – 6x²
∴ 6x² + 5x – 1 = 0
∴ 6x² + 6x – x – 1 = 0
∴ 6x(x +1) – 1(x + 1) = 0
∴ (x + 1)(6x – 1) = 0
∴ x = -1 or x = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
But x > 0 ∴ x ≠ -1
Hence, x = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Question is modified
If |x| < 1 , then prove that 2tan^-1 x = tan^-1\(\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}\right)\) = sin^-1\(\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^{2}}\right)\) = cos^-1\(\left(\frac{1-x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}\right)\)
Solution:
Let tan^-1x = y
Then, x = tany

Question 37.
If x, y, z, are positive then prove that tan^-1\(\frac{x-y}{1+x y}\) + tan^-1\(\frac{y-z}{1+y z}\) + tan^-1\(\frac{z-x}{1+z x}\) = 0
Solution:

Question 38.
If tan^-1 x + tan^-1 y + tan^-1 z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) then, show that xy + yz + zx = 1
Solution:
tan^-1 x + tan^-1 y + tan^-1 z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

∴ 1 – xy – yz – zx = 0
∴ xy + yz + zx = 1.

Question 39.
If cos^-1 x + cos^-1 y + cos^-1 z = π then show that x² + y² + z² + 2xyz = 1.
Solution:
0 ≤ cos^-1x ≤ π and
cos^-1x + cos^-1y+ cos^-1z = 3π
∴ cos^-1x = π, cos^-1y = π and cos^-1z = π
∴ x = y = z = cosπ = -1
∴ x² + y² + z² + 2xyz
= (-1)² + (-1)² + (-1)² + 2(-1)(-1)(-1)
= 1 + 1 + 1 – 2
= 3 – 2 = 1.
