WBJEE · Maths · Straight Lines
A straight line through the origin \(\mathrm{O}\) meets the parallel lines \(4 \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}=9\) and \(2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+6=0\) at \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\) respectively. The point O divides the segment \(\mathrm{PQ}\) in the ratio
- A \(1: 2\)
- B \(3: 4\)
- C \(2: 1\)
- D \(4: 3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(3: 4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hint : \(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{OP}}{\mathrm{OQ}}=\frac{\mathrm{OM}}{\mathrm{ON}}=\Rightarrow \frac{9 / 2}{12 / 2}=\frac{3}{4}\)
