Q28 / 109 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Straight Lines

If the segment intercepted between the lines x+6y-13=0 and x–y+3=0 is bisected at 6,8, then the square of the length of segment is

  • A
    268
  • Correct answer
    B
    244
  • C
    212
  • D
    252

Solution

Let the segment is AB as shown in the figure
Figure
Let A=13-6y1,y1
B=y2-3,y2
∴ mid-point AB=6,8
∴13-6y1+y2-32=6.............i
And y1+y22=8.............ii
on solving i and ii we get

A=1,2 and B=11,14
⇒(AB)2=102+122=100+144=244

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