Q41 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics
Let be the slopes of two adjacent sides of a square of side such that . If one vertex of the square is , where and the equation of one diagonal is , then is equal to
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Given are slopes of two adjacent sides of square then,
Also given
Now on plotting the diagram we get,
Now given equation of ,
Now by property of square we know that diagonals are perpendicular to each other
So equation of will be now is passes through ,
So, equation of
Now slope of will be given by angle bisector equation of
Taking positive sign we get,
, so slope
Now taking negative sign we get,
, so slope
Now finding by using distance of point from line
Now we can see distance of from will be ,
So,
Now putting the value of in we get,
So this is only possible when or vice versa
So,
So,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
