  • B (2, 2)
  • C (2, 1)
  • D (1, 3)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Both the lines pass through origin.

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th July Evening Shift Mathematics - Straight Lines and Pair of Straight Lines Question 72 English Explanation

point D is equal to intersection of 4x + 5y = 0 & 11x + 7y = 9

So, coordinates of point D=(53,−43)D = \left( {{5 \over 3}, - {4 \over 3}} \right)

Also, point B is point of intersection of 7x + 2y = 0 and 11x + 7y = 9

So, coordinates of point B=(−23,73)B = \left( { - {2 \over 3},{7 \over 3}} \right)

diagonals of parallelogram intersect at middle let middle point of B, D

⇒(53−232,−43+732)=(12,12)\Rightarrow \left( {{{{5 \over 3} - {2 \over 3}} \over 2},{{{{ - 4} \over 3} + {7 \over 3}} \over 2}} \right) = \left( {{1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right)

equation of diagonal AC

⇒(y−0)=1α−01α−0(x−0)\Rightarrow (y - 0) = {{{1 \over \alpha } - 0} \over {{1 \over \alpha } - 0}}(x - 0)

y=xy = x

diagonal AC passes through (2, 2)
