1. A incident ray is passing through the point (2, 3) makes an angle α with horizontal.
The ray gets reflected at point M and passes through the point (5, 2) as shown in figure
below.

Fig:M1W2Q6

Choose the set of correct option(s).

Answer: Option a and c [MSQ:1 Marks]
⃝ The equation of incident ray is −5x − 3y + 19 = 0
⃝ The equation of incident ray is 3x + 2y − 12 = 0
⃝ The equation of reflected ray is 5x − 3y − 19 = 0
⃝ The equation of reflected ray is 2x + y − 12 = 0
Solution:
Since, incident ray and reflected ray is making same angle α with horizontal, we can find
out the value of x. From the fig shown below,

Thus, the equation of incident ray is −5x − 3y + 19 = 0.

3. Ramesh works in the MNC ltd. company as a sales manager. He receives a monthly
base salary and a |500 commission for each unit he sells. At the end of the month he
figures out that he sold 100 units and received |80,000 at the end of the month. How
much is Ramesh’s monthly base salary?
Answer: 30000 [NAT:1marks]
Solution: Let x be the number of units and c be the base salary.

The total salary Ramesh received at the end of month = Base salary + commission
per unit × no. of units

It is given that, he sold 100 units and received |80,000 at the end of the month.
80000 = c + 500 × x
80000 = c + 500 × 100
c =80000 − 50000
c = 30000
Thus, Ramesh’s monthly base salary is 30000.

 Consider the following scenario and answer the question 4 and 5
Consider the scenario where a fighter jet Mig-21 flying at a height of 2800m from origin
O(0, 0). The air defense system S-400 is located at a distance of 400m from origin. The
missile Brahmos is fired from Mig-21 towards the warship and it follows a straight line
path. The missile makes an angle of 45◦ (measured in clockwise direction) with the
ground (horizontal axis) if it hits the warship. The air defense system S-400 tracked
the path of missile and fires a missile Triumpf towards it, missile Triumpf also follows
a straight line path having slope 2. Let P be the point where Triumpf missile hits the
Brahmos missile.
The below figure illustrates the given scenario.

Fig:M1W2Q2

4. Find out the distance between point P and origin O in meters.

Answer: 2000 [NAT:1marks]

Solution:

7
Refer to the above figure:
The co-ordinates of M is (0, 2800) and co-ordinates of N is (400, 0). The path of brah-
mos missile makes an angle of 45◦ (measured in clockwise direction) with the ground
(horizontal axis) and passing through M , and equation given by y = mx + c.
slope m = tan(180 − 45) = −1
So, equation becomes y = −x + c and it passing through M (0, 2800).
2800 = 0 + c ⇒ c = 2800
Thus, the equation of path followed by brahmos missile is y = −x + 2800......(1)

Similary, equation of path followed by Triumpf missile having slope 2 and passing through
N (400, 0) is y = 2x − 800.......(2).

In order to find out the co-ordinates of point P, solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously,
we get,
−x + 2800 = 2x − 800 ⇒ x = 1200 and y = 1600

The
pdistance between point P and origin O is
= (1200 − 0)2 + (1600 − 0)2
= 2000

missile (in m/sec), so that it should hit the Brahmos missile at point P.

6. A bird is flying along the straight line 2y − 6x = 20. In the same plane, an aeroplane starts
to fly in a straight line and passes through the point (4, 12). Consider the point where aero-
plane starts to fly as origin. If the bird and plane collides then enter the answer as 1 and if
not then 0.
Note: Bird and aeroplane can be considered to be of negligible size.
(NAT)(Answer: 0) [Marks: 1]
Solution:
As per the given statements, aeroplane passes through the point(4, 12) and origin O(0, 0).
12 − 0
Therefore, the slope of line will be = 3 and the equation of line will be y = 3x
4−0

A bird is flying along the straight line 2y − 6x = 20, the slope of line is 3. Since, the slope of
both the path are same and y-intercept are different. So, they are parallel and hence, they
will never collides.
The correct answer is 0.

7. Find out the perimeter of the triangle formed by the intersections of following 3 lines.
L1 : 2x + 3y − 6 = 0
L2 : 3x + 2y + 6 = 0
L3 : 3x − 3y + 6 = 0
Answer: 17.25 [NAT:1 marks] Range: 17 to 18
Solution: Let M (x1 , y1 ) be the point of intersection of line L1 and L2 .
By, solving the equations simultaneously,
3L1 − 2L2 ⇒ y = 6 and x = −6. Thus, the co-ordinates of M (−6, 6).

Let N (x2 , y2 ) be the point of intersection of line L1 and L3 .

By, solving the equations simultaneously,
3L1 − 2L3 ⇒ y = 2 and x = 0. Thus, the co-ordinates of N (0, 2).

Let O(x3 , y3 ) be the point of intersection of line L2 and L3 .

By, solving the equations simultaneously,
L2 − L3 ⇒ y = 0 and x = −2. Thus, the co-ordinates of O(−2, 0).
The perimeter of the triangle △M N O formed by the intersections of 3 lines is given by:
MN + N pO + M O. √
M N =p (0 − (−6))2 + (2 − 6)2 = √ 52
2
N O = p(−2 − 0) + (0 − 2) = 8 √2

M O = (−2 − (−6))2 + (0 − 6)2 = 52

√ √ √
So, perimeter of △M N Ois 52 + 8 + 52 = 17.25

8. Suppose the equation x + 3y − 10 = 0 represents a straight line which is perpendicular to
the line segment joining the points A(0, 0) and B(3, p), divides it at C in the ratio of m : 1,
where p, m ∈ R. Find the value of p + 4m. (NAT:1 mark)
Solution:

As per the given condition, following rough plot can be made:

−1
The slope of x + 3y − 10 = 0 is . Since, it is given that, x + 3y − 10 = 0 is perpendicular
3
to the line segment joining the points A(0, 0) and B(3, p). Therefore, the slope of line AB is
3.
p−0
=3⇒p=9
3−0
The equation of line AB will be y = 3x + c, but since is passing through A(0, 0), so c = 0.
Thus, equation of line is y = 3x.
The point of intersection of line y = 3x and x + 3y − 10 = 0, will be at c.
Solving these equations we get,
10x − 10 = 0 ⇒ x = 1 and y = 3
Co-ordinates of c is (1, 3).
Using section formula (for x- coordinate of c)
3m + 0
1= ⇒m + 1 = 3m

Thus, p + 4m = 9 + 4× = 11

9. The distance between two parallel lines 3x + 4y + c1 = 0 and 3x + 4y + c2 = 0 is 4, where
c2 > c1 > 0.The minimum distance between the point (2,3) and the line 3x + 4y + c1 = 0 is
6. Find out the value of c1 + c2 .
Answer: 44 [NAT:1marks]
Solution:
The distance between two parallel lines 3x + 4y + c1 = 0 and 3x + 4y + c2 = 0 is given by :
|c2 − c1 |
d= √
32 + 42
c2 − c1
4= .............{given that c2 > c1 }
5
c2 − c1 = 20......................(1)

The minimum distance (means perpendicular distance)between the point (2,3) and the line
3x + 4y + c1 = 0 is given by:
3 × 2 + 4 × 3 + c1
d= √
32 + 42
18 + c1
6= ⇒ c1 = 12. From (1), we get c2 = 20 + 12 = 32.

c1 + c2 = 32 + 12 = 44
