Question

Let ABC be a triangle whose vertices, A(1,1),B(0,2)Cx,y such that area of ABC is 5sq. and Cx,y lie on 3x+y4λ=0.  Then, λ=

Moderate
Solution

It is given that area of ABC is 5 sq. units

 12111021xy1=±5 2y+0x+02x=±10 3xy+2=±10 3x+y2=±10 3x+y12=0 or 3x+y+8=0

Point Cx,y lies on 3x+y4λ=0. Therefore, λ=3
