Q24 / 109 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Straight Lines

If the point Mh,k lie on the line 2x+3y=5 such that MA-MB is maximum where A1,2 and B2,3, then the value of h+k is

Correct answer: 1.8

Solution

Figure

As, MA-MB≤AB
∴MA-MBmaximum=AB, which is possible when M is the point of intersection of the line joining A1,2, B2,3 and 2x+3y=5.

Equation of the line joining A & B is x-y+1=0

Hence, the point of intersection is h=25, k=75

Hence, h+k=95=1.8

Hence, the correct answer is 1.8.
