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

Let a triangle be bounded by the lines \(L _{1}: 2 x +5 y =10\); \(L _{2}:-4 x +3 y =12\) and the line \(L _{3}\), which passes through the point \(P (2,3)\), intersect \(L _{2}\) at \(A\) and \(L _{1}\) at \(B\). If the point \(P\) divides the line-segment \(A B\), internally in the ratio \(1: 3\), then the area of the triangle is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{110}{13}\)
  2. B \(\frac{132}{13}\)
  3. C \(\frac{142}{13}\)
  4. D \(\frac{151}{13}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{132}{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Points \(A\) lies on \(L _{2}\) \(A \left(\alpha, 4+\frac{4}{3} \alpha\right)\) Points \(B\) lies on \(L _{1}\) \(B \left(\beta, 2-\frac{2}{5} \beta\right)\) Points \(P\) divides \(AB\) internally in the ratio \(1: 3\)…
