Question

Statement 1: The lines (a+b)x+(a2b)y=a are concurrent at the point (23,13)

Statement 2: The lines x+y1=0 and x2y=0 intersect at point (23,13)

Open in App
Solution

Given equation is
(a+b)x+(a2b)y=aa(x+y1)+b(x2y)=aa(x+y1)+b(x2y)=0(x+y1)+ba(x2y)=0 [a0]
Which represents a family of line which passes through the point of intersection of the lines x+y1=0 and x2y=0
Solving the above two equations we get,
x=23 and y=13
Therefore, lines are concurrent at (23,13)
Clearly statement 2 is true and is the correct explanation of statement 1.

Hence option (A) is the correct option.
