    Three   straight   lines   \[2x+11y-5=0\], \[24x+7y-20=0\] and \[4x-3y-2=0\]   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) form a triangle

    B) are only concurrent

    C) are concurrent with one line bisecting the angle between the other two

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Equations of angle bisectors of lines \[{{\alpha }_{1}}x+{{b}_{1}}y+{{c}_{1}}=0\] and \[{{\alpha }_{2}}x+{{b}_{2}}y+{{c}_{2}}=0\]are \[\frac{{{\alpha }_{1}}x+{{b}_{1}}y+{{c}_{1}}}{\sqrt{\alpha _{1}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}}}=\pm \frac{{{\alpha }_{2}}x+{{b}_{2}}y+{{c}_{2}}}{\sqrt{\alpha _{2}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}}}\]. For given two lines \[24x+7y-20=0\] and\[4x-3y-2=0\], the angle bisectors are given by                    \[\frac{24x+7y-20}{25}=\pm \frac{4x-3y-2}{5}\] Taking positive sign, we get                    \[2x+11y-5=0\] Therefore, the given three lines are concurrent with one line bisecting the angle between the other two.
