JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line

A straight the through a fixed point \((2, 3)\) intersects the coordinate axes at distinct points \(P\) and \(Q.\) If \(O\) is the origin and the rectangle \(OPRQ\) is completed, then the locus of \(R\) is:

  1. A \(2x + 3y = xy\)
  2. B \(3x + 2y = xy\)
  3. C \(3x + 2y = 6xy\)
  4. D \(3x + 2y = 6\).
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3x + 2y = xy\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of \(PQ\) is \(\frac{x}{h} + \frac{y}{k} = 1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,......\left( 1 \right)\) Since, \((1)\) passes through the fixed point \((2,3)\) Then, \(\frac{2}{h} + \frac{3}{k} = 1\,\) Then, the locus of \(R\) is \(\frac{2}{x} + \frac{3}{y} = 1\) or \(3x + 2y = xy\).
