Q57 / 125 · BITSAT 2017 · Mathematics
The image of the point in the line is
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Let be the given point and be the foot of perpendicular from to the given line. The coordinates of a general point on the given line are

(say)
i.e.
If the coordinates of are , then the direction ratios of are .
Since, the direction ratios of given line which is perpendicular to , are and . Therefore, ,which gives .
Hence, coordinates of are .
Let be the image of in the given line. Then, is the mid-point of .
Therefore,
Hence, the image of in the given line is .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
