Q41 / 109 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Straight Lines

If the locus of the image of the point λ2,2λ in the line mirror x-y+1=0 (where λ is a parameter) is x-a2=by-c where a,b,c∈I, then the value of a+bc+b is equal to

Correct answer: 0.6

Solution

Figure

Let, h,k be the image of the point λ2,2λ about the line x-y+1=0

h-λ21=k-2λ-1=-2λ2-2λ+12
h+1=2λ…..i
k=λ2+1…..ii
Put the value of λ from i in ii
k-1=h+122

⇒4y-1=x+12
Hence, a=-1, b=4 and c=1

Hence, the correct answer is 0.6.
