JEE Advanced · Mathematics · 9. Straight Lines

Lines \(L_1: y-x=0\) and \(L_2: 2 x+y=0\) intersect the line \(L_3: y+2=0\) at \(P\) and \(Q\), respectively. The bisector of the acute angle between \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) intersects \(L_3\) at \(R\).
Statement I The ratio \(P R: R Q\) equals \(2 \sqrt{2}: \sqrt{5}\).
Statement II In any triangle, bisector of an angle divides the triangle into two similar triangles.

  1. A Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
  2. B Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I
  3. C Statement I is true, Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false, Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\triangle O P Q\)


Clearly,
\[
\frac{P R}{R Q}=\frac{O P}{O Q}=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}}
\]
