The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both statements one by one. ### Statement 1: "If a, b, c are parameters such that \(3a + 2b + 4c = 0\), then the family of lines \(ax + by + c = 0\) pass through a fixed point \((3,2)\)." 1. **Substituting the fixed point into the line equation:** We need to check if the line \(ax + by + c = 0\) passes through the point \((3, 2)\). This means we substitute \(x = 3\) and \(y = 2\) into the line equation: \[ a(3) + b(2) + c = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3a + 2b + c = 0 \tag{1} \] 2. **Using the given condition:** We are given that \(3a + 2b + 4c = 0\). We can rearrange this to express \(c\) in terms of \(a\) and \(b\): \[ 4c = -3a - 2b \quad \Rightarrow \quad c = -\frac{3a + 2b}{4} \tag{2} \] 3. **Substituting equation (2) into equation (1):** Now, we substitute \(c\) from equation (2) into equation (1): \[ 3a + 2b - \frac{3a + 2b}{4} = 0 \] To simplify, we can multiply the entire equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 4(3a + 2b) - (3a + 2b) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 12a + 8b - 3a - 2b = 0 \] Combining like terms gives: \[ 9a + 6b = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3a + 2b = 0 \tag{3} \] 4. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** From equation (3), we see that \(c\) cannot be arbitrary; it must satisfy the relation \(3a + 2b = 0\). Therefore, the line does not necessarily pass through the fixed point \((3, 2)\) for all values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) satisfying \(3a + 2b + 4c = 0\). Thus, **Statement 1 is false**. ### Statement 2: "The equation \(ax + by + c = 0\) will represent a family of straight lines passing through a fixed point if there exists a linear relation between \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\)." 1. **Understanding the linear relation:** A linear relation among \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) can be expressed as: \[ ka + mb + nc = 0 \quad \text{for some constants } k, m, n \] This implies that we can express one of the parameters in terms of the others. 2. **Finding the fixed point:** If we set \(c = -ka - mb\), the line equation becomes: \[ ax + by - (ka + mb) = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ ax + by + ka + mb = 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ a(x + k) + b(y + m) = 0 \] This shows that the line passes through the point \((-k, -m)\). 3. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** Since we can express \(c\) in terms of \(a\) and \(b\) and find a fixed point \((-k, -m)\), **Statement 2 is true**. ### Final Conclusion: - **Statement 1 is false.** - **Statement 2 is true.**
