Q87 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 1) · Mathematics

If P'(a, b) is the image of the point P(-1, 2) with respect to the line x-2y+3=0, then the length of the perpendicular from P' on to the line 2x+y-7=0 is

  • A
    35
  • B
    5
  • Correct answer
    C
    75
  • D
    7

Solution

The image h,k of a point Px1,y1 about the line ax+by+c=0 is given  by

h-x1a=k-y1b=-2ax1+by1+ca2+b2

Now putting all values from the given data in this formula, we get

a+11=b-2-2=-2-1-4+31+4

a=-15,b=25

Length of perpendicular from -15,25 on the line 2x+y-7=0 is given by

2×-15+25-71+4=-75=75

 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
