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

Let two points be \(\mathrm{A}(1,-1)\) and \(\mathrm{B}(0,2) .\) If a point \(\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{x}^{\prime}, \mathrm{y}^{\prime}\right)\) be such that the area of \(\Delta \mathrm{PAB}=5\; \mathrm{sq}\) units and it lies on the line, \(3 x+y-4 \lambda=0\) then a value of \(\lambda\) is

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(-3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overline{A B}: 3 x+y-2=0\) Also, \(\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{10} \times h=5\) \(\Rightarrow h=\sqrt{10}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{|4 \lambda-2|}{\sqrt{10}}=\sqrt{10} \Rightarrow \lambda=3,-2\)
