Question

If the slopes of the lines given by the equation 24x3ax2y+26xy23y3=0 are in G.P., p is the greatest perpendicular distance of the point (1, 1) from these lines, then a2+37p2 is equal to

Solution

24x33y3xy(ax26y)=03(8x3y3)xy(ax26y)=03((2x)3y3)xy(ax26y)=0
a must be equal to 52
3[(2x)3y3]xy(52x26y)=03[(2x)3y3]26xy(2xy)=03(2xy)(4x2+y2+2xy)26xy(2xy)=0(2xy)(12x2+3y2+6xy26xy)=0(2xy)(12x2+3y220xy)=0(2xy)(6xy)(2x3y)=0
Slopes: 23,2,6 are in GP with r=3
Greatest distance from (1,1)p=6137p=537
a2+37p2=(52)2+37×2537a2+37p2=2729
