JEE · Math · previous-year question

  1. A.$5 x+16 y=31$
  2. B.$48 x+25 y=169$correct
  3. C.$4 x+122 y=134$
  4. D.$25 x+101 y=176$

Answer

B. $48 x+25 y=169$

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} &\text { Equation of chord with given middle point }\\ &\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{S}_1 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{3 \mathrm{x}}{25}+\frac{\mathrm{y}}{16}-1=\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{16}-1 \\ & 48 \mathrm{x}+25 \mathrm{y}=144+25 \\ & 48 \mathrm{x}+25 \mathrm{y}=169 \text { Ans. } \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$
