JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line
The foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin, on the line, \(3x + y = \lambda \,\left( {\lambda \ne 0} \right)\) is \(P\). If the line meets \(x-\) axis at \(A\) and \(y-\) axis at \(B\), then the ratio \(BP : PA\) is
- A \(9: 1\)
- B \(1 : 3\)
- C \(1 : 9\)
- D \(3 : 1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(3 : 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Equation of the lien, which is perpendicular to the line, \(3x + y = \lambda \,\left( {\lambda \ne 0} \right)\) and passing through origin, is given by \(\frac{{x - 0}}{3} = \frac{{y - 0}}{1} = r\) For foot of perpendicular…
