If `a + 2b + 3c = 0 " then " a/3+(2b)/3+c=0` and comparing with line ax + by + c, we get `x = 1/3 & y = 2/ 3` so there will be a point `(1/3,2/3)` from where each of the lines of the form ax + by + c = 0 will pass for the given relation between a,b,c . We can say if there exists a linear relation between a,b,c then the family of straight lines of the form of `ax + by +c ` pass through a fixed point .
If a , b, c are in H.P . then the line acx + bcy + ab = 0 passes through,

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and derive the necessary equations step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Condition We start with the condition: \[ a + 2b + 3c = 0 \] ### Step 2: Transform the Equation We can divide the entire equation by 3 to simplify it: \[ \frac{a}{3} + \frac{2b}{3} + c = 0 \] ### Step 3: Compare with the General Line Equation Now, we compare this equation with the general line equation: \[ ax + by + c = 0 \] From our equation, we can identify: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = 2 \) - \( c = 3 \) This gives us the coordinates: - \( x = \frac{1}{3} \) - \( y = \frac{2}{3} \) Thus, we find the point: \[ \left( \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3} \right) \] ### Step 4: Conclusion from the First Part From the above, we conclude that if there exists a linear relation between \( a, b, c \), then the family of straight lines of the form \( ax + by + c = 0 \) passes through the fixed point \( \left( \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3} \right) \). ### Step 5: Analyze the Second Part of the Problem Now, we need to analyze the case when \( a, b, c \) are in Harmonic Progression (HP). If \( a, b, c \) are in HP, then their reciprocals \( \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}, \frac{1}{c} \) are in Arithmetic Progression (AP). ### Step 6: Set Up the Equation From the properties of AP, we know: \[ 2\frac{1}{b} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{c} \] ### Step 7: Substitute into the Line Equation We need to find the line \( acx + bcy + ab = 0 \). Dividing the entire equation by \( abc \), we can rewrite it as: \[ \frac{x}{b} + \frac{y}{a} + \frac{1}{c} = 0 \] ### Step 8: Substitute \( \frac{1}{c} \) Using the relationship from the AP condition: \[ \frac{1}{c} = 2\frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{a} \] Substituting this into the line equation gives: \[ \frac{x}{b} + \frac{y}{a} + \left( 2\frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{a} \right) = 0 \] ### Step 9: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging the equation, we have: \[ \frac{x + 2}{b} + \frac{y - 1}{a} = 0 \] ### Step 10: Identify the Fixed Point From this equation, we can identify the fixed point where the line passes through: - The coefficient of \( \frac{1}{b} \) gives \( x + 2 = 0 \) → \( x = -2 \) - The coefficient of \( \frac{1}{a} \) gives \( y - 1 = 0 \) → \( y = 1 \) Thus, the point through which the line passes is: \[ (-2, 1) \] ### Final Answer The line \( acx + bcy + ab = 0 \) passes through the point: \[ (-2, 1) \] ---
