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

The sides of a rhombus \(ABCD\) are parallel to the lines, \(x - y + 2\, = 0\) and \(7x - y + 3\, = 0\). If the diagonals of the rhombus intersect at \(P( 1, 2)\) and the vertex \(A\) ( different from the origin) is on the \(y\) axis, then the ordinate of \(A\) is

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the coordinate \(A\) be \((0,c)\) Equations of the given lines are \(x-y+2=0\) \(7x-y+3=0\) we know that the diagonals of the rhombus will be parallel to the angle bisectors of the two given lines; \(y=x+2\) and \(y=7x+3\) \(\therefore \) equation of angle bisectors is given…
