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

Let \(A,B\) be points on the two half-lines \(x-\sqrt{3}|y|=\alpha\), \(\alpha>0\) at a distance of \(\alpha\) from their point of intersection \(P\). The line segment \(AB\) meets the angle bisector of the given half-lines at the point \(Q\). If \(PQ=\dfrac{9}{2}\) and \(R\) is the radius of the circumcircle of \(\triangle PAB\), then \(\dfrac{\alpha^2}{R}\) is equal to ______

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given equations of the half-lines are \(x - \sqrt{3}y = \alpha\) for \(y \ge 0\) and \(x + \sqrt{3}y = \alpha\) for \(y \le 0\). The point of intersection \(P\) is obtained by setting \(y = 0\), which gives \(x = \alpha\). Thus, \(P \equiv (\alpha, 0)\). The angle bisector…
