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

Let \(\mathrm{A}\) be the set of all points \((\alpha, \beta)\) such that the area of triangle formed by the points \((5,6),(3,2)\) and \((\alpha, \beta)\) is \(12\, square\, units.\) Then the least possible length of a line segment joining the origin to a point in \(A,\) is :

  1. A \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{16}{\sqrt{5}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{12}{\sqrt{5}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|\frac{1}{2}\right| \begin{array}{lll}5 & 6 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \\ \alpha & \beta & 1\end{array}||=12\) \(4 \alpha-2 \beta=\pm 24+8\) \(\Rightarrow 4 \alpha-2 \beta=+24+8 \Rightarrow 2 \alpha-\beta=16\) \(2 \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}-16=0...(1)\)…
