Q8 / 109 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Straight Lines

The sum of squares of the abscissas of all the points on the line x+y=4 that lie at a unit distance from the line 4x+3y-10=0 is

Correct answer: 58

Solution

Any point on the line x+y=4 can be taken as x1,4-x1.

As it is at a unit distance from the line 4x+3y-10=0, we get,

 4x1+34-x1-1042+32=1
⇒x1+2=5⇒x1+2=±5

⇒x1=3 or -7
∴ Required sum of the squares =9+49=58

Hence, the correct answer is 58.
