A triangle ABC has vertices A(5, 1), B (...

A triangle ABC has vertices `A(5, 1), B (-1, -7) and C(1, 4)` respectively. L be the line mirror passing through C and parallel to AB and a light ray eliminating from point A goes along the direction of internal bisector of the angle A, which meets the mirror and BC at E, D respectively. If sum of the areas of `triangle ACE` and `triangle ABE` is `K` sq units then`(2K)/5-6` is

A

17 sq. units

B

18 sq. units

C

`(50)/(3)` sq. units

D

20 sq. units

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


`(AD)/(DE) =(BD)/(DC) =(AB)/(AC)`
`:.` Point `D ((1)/(3),(1)/(3))` and `E(-2,0)`.
Area of `DeltaADC +` Area of `DeltaBDE`
`=(25)/(3) +(25)/(3)`
`=(50)/(3)` sq. units
