A variable line L is drawn through O(0, ...

A variable line L is drawn through O(0, 0) to meet lines L1: 2x + 3y = 5 and L2: 2x + 3y = 10 at point P and Q, respectively. A point R is taken on L such that 2OP.OQ = OR.OP + OR.OQ. Locus of R is

A

`9x +6y = 20`

B

`6x - 9y = 20`

C

`6x +9y = 20`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Let the line L be `(x)/(cos theta) =(y)/(sin theta)`
Then `OP = (5)/(2cos theta +3 sin theta)`
and `OQ = (10)/(2cos theta +3 sin theta)` and let `OR = r`
Then according to condition
`20 = 6r cos theta +9r sin theta`
`:.` locus is `6x +9y = 20`
