JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2016 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 17)

The point (2, 1) is translated parallel to the line L : x− y = 4 by $$2\sqrt 3 $$ units. If the newpoint Q lies in the third quadrant, then the equation of the line passing through Q and perpendicular to L is :
x + y = 2 $$-$$ $$\sqrt 6 $$
x + y = 3 $$-$$ 3$$\sqrt 6 $$
x + y = 3 $$-$$ 2$$\sqrt 6 $$
2x + 2y = 1 $$-$$ $$\sqrt 6 $$

Explanation

x $$-$$ y = 4

To find equation of R

slope of L = 0 is 1

$$ \Rightarrow $$   slope of QR = $$-$$ 1

Let QR is y = mx + c

y = $$-$$ x + c

x + y $$-$$ c = 0

distance of QR from (2, 1) is 2$$\sqrt 3 $$

2$$\sqrt 3 $$ = $${{\left| {2 + 1 - c} \right|} \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$

2$$\sqrt 6 $$ = $$\left| {3 - c} \right|$$

c $$-$$ 3 = $$ \pm 2\sqrt 6 $$ c = 3 $$ \pm $$ 2$$\sqrt 6 $$

Line can be x + y = 3 $$ \pm $$ 2$$\sqrt 6 $$

x + y = 3 $$-$$ 2$$\sqrt 6 $$
