QJEEM20Maaccd: JEE Main 2020 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM20Maaccd Solution: If the line, 2x - y + 3 = 0 is at a distance and from the lines …

If the line, 2x - y + 3 = 0 is at a distance
15{1 \over {\sqrt 5 }} and 25{2 \over {\sqrt 5 }} from the lines 4x - 2y + α\alpha = 0
and 6x - 3y + β\beta = 0, respectively, then the sum of all possible values of α\alpha and β\beta is :

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Apply distance between parallel line formula

4x−2y+α=04x - 2y + \alpha = 0

4x−2y+6=04x - 2y + 6 = 0

∣α−625∣=155\left| {{{\alpha - 6} \over {25}}} \right| = {1 \over {55}}

∣α−6∣ =2⇒α=8,4|\alpha - 6|\, = 2 \Rightarrow \alpha = 8,4

sum = 12

Again

6x−3y+β=06x - 3y + \beta = 0

6x−3y+9=06x - 3y + 9 = 0

∣β−935∣=25\left| {{{\beta - 9} \over {3\sqrt 5 }}} \right| = {2 \over {\sqrt 5 }}

∣β−9∣ =6⇒β=15,3|\beta - 9|\, = 6 \Rightarrow \beta = 15,3

sum = 18

∴\therefore Sum of all values of α\alpha and β\beta is = 30
