If \(a, b\) and \(c\) are in \(\mathrm{AP}\), then the straight line \(a x+2 b y+c=0\) will always pass through a fixed point whose coordinates are

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (1,-1)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are in \(\mathrm{AP}\) \(\therefore \quad 2 b=a+c\) \(\Rightarrow \quad c=2 b-a\) and equation of straight line is \(a x+2 b y+c=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad a x+2 b y+(2 b-a)=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad a(x-1)+b(2 y+2)=a \cdot 0+b \cdot 0\) On…
