The line joining the points (2, x) and (3, 1) is perpendicular to the line joining the points (x, 4) and (7, 5). The value of x is

a
2
b
3
c
4
d
7

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Slope of the line joining (2, x) and (3, 1) is 1-x3-2 and that of the line joining x,4 and 7,5 is 5-47-x.  Since the lines are perpendicular the product of the slopes is -1⇒ 1−x1×17−x=−1⇒ x=4.
