Q50 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (09 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics
If the two lines and are perpendicular, then the distance of their point of intersection from the origin is
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
If two lines and are perpendicular, then
Since, given lines and are perpendicular, hence, we get
or
But, the discriminant of the quadratic equation is hence, no real roots exist.
Thus, the only possible value of is
And, hence the lines are and
Point of intersection of these two lines is
We know that, the distance of a point from origin is
Hence, distance of the point from origin
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
