The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the point at which the set of lines given by the equation \[ x \tan^{-1} a + y \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + a^2}}\right) + 2 = 0 \] is concurrent for \( a \in (0, 1) \). ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation of the lines: \[ x \tan^{-1} a + y \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + a^2}}\right) + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Substitute variables Let \( \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + a^2}}\right) = \theta \). This implies: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + a^2}} = \sin \theta \] ### Step 3: Analyze the triangle From the definition of sine, we can form a right triangle where: - The opposite side (perpendicular) is 1. - The hypotenuse is \( \sqrt{1 + a^2} \). ### Step 4: Relate \( a \) and \( \tan^{-1} a \) Let \( \tan^{-1} a = \phi \). Then, we have: \[ \tan \phi = \frac{a}{1} \] ### Step 5: Use angle relationships Since the sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \) and angle \( B \) is \( 90^\circ \): \[ \theta + \phi = \frac{\pi}{2} \] Thus, we can express \( \phi \) as: \[ \phi = \frac{\pi}{2} - \theta \] ### Step 6: Substitute back into the equation Substituting \( \phi \) and \( \theta \) back into the original equation: \[ x \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta\right) + y \theta + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives us: \[ x \frac{\pi}{2} + y \theta - x \theta + 2 = 0 \] Factoring out \( \theta \): \[ \theta(-x + y) + x \frac{\pi}{2} + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Determine the concurrency point For the lines to be concurrent, we need to check specific points given in the options. We will substitute each point into the equation to see if it satisfies it. #### Checking Point (1/π, 1/π): Substituting \( x = \frac{1}{\pi} \) and \( y = \frac{1}{\pi} \): \[ \frac{1}{\pi} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{1}{\pi} \theta - \frac{1}{\pi} \theta + 2 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{2} + 2 \neq 0 \] #### Checking Point (-4/π, -4/π): Substituting \( x = -\frac{4}{\pi} \) and \( y = -\frac{4}{\pi} \): \[ -\frac{4}{\pi} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{4}{\pi} \theta + \frac{4}{\pi} \theta + 2 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -2 + 2 = 0 \] This point satisfies the equation. #### Checking Point (π, π): Substituting \( x = \pi \) and \( y = \pi \): \[ \pi \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} + \pi \theta - \pi \theta + 2 \neq 0 \] ### Conclusion The only point that satisfies the equation is: \[ \left(-\frac{4}{\pi}, -\frac{4}{\pi}\right) \] Thus, the correct answer is (b) \((-4/\pi, -4/\pi)\).

To solve the problem, we need to determine the point at which the set of lines given by the equation \[ x \tan^{-1} a + y \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + a^2}}\right) + 2 = 0 \] is concurrent for \( a \in (0, 1) \). ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation of the lines: ...
