The correct Answer is:
To solve the given equation \( 6a^2 - 3b^2 - c^2 + 7ab - ac + 4bc = 0 \) and determine the concurrent points of the family of lines \( ax + by + c = 0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation We start with the equation: \[ 6a^2 + 7ab - 3b^2 - ac + 4bc - c^2 = 0 \] This is a quadratic equation in terms of \( a \). ### Step 2: Identifying Coefficients In the quadratic equation \( Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0 \), we identify: - \( A = 6 \) - \( B = 7b - c \) - \( C = -3b^2 + 4bc - c^2 \) ### Step 3: Finding the Discriminant For the quadratic equation to have real and concurrent solutions, the discriminant must be equal to zero: \[ D = B^2 - 4AC = 0 \] Substituting the values: \[ (7b - c)^2 - 4(6)(-3b^2 + 4bc - c^2) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Expanding the Discriminant Expanding the discriminant: \[ (7b - c)^2 + 72b^2 - 96bc + 24c^2 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 49b^2 - 14bc + c^2 + 72b^2 - 96bc + 24c^2 = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ 121b^2 - 110bc + 25c^2 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solving the Quadratic in \( b \) and \( c \) Now, we treat this as a quadratic in \( b \): \[ 121b^2 - 110bc + 25c^2 = 0 \] Using the quadratic formula \( b = \frac{-B \pm \sqrt{D}}{2A} \): Where \( A = 121 \), \( B = -110c \), and \( C = 25c^2 \). ### Step 6: Finding the Roots The discriminant \( D \) for this quadratic is: \[ D = (-110c)^2 - 4 \cdot 121 \cdot 25c^2 = 12100c^2 - 12100c^2 = 0 \] This indicates that \( b \) has a double root. ### Step 7: Finding the Concurrent Points Setting \( b \) in terms of \( c \): \[ b = \frac{110c}{2 \cdot 121} = \frac{55c}{121} \] ### Step 8: Substituting Back to Find Points Substituting back into the line equation \( ax + by + c = 0 \): 1. For \( b = 3 \) and \( c = -1 \): - \( 3A - B + C = 0 \) gives the point \( (3, -1) \). 2. For \( b = 2 \) and \( c = 3 \): - \( 2A + 3B - C = 0 \) gives the point \( (2, 3) \). 3. For \( b = -2 \) and \( c = 3 \): - \( -2A + 3B - C = 0 \) gives the point \( (-2, 3) \). 4. For \( b = -3 \) and \( c = 1 \): - \( -3A + B - C = 0 \) gives the point \( (-3, 1) \). ### Conclusion The concurrent points from the options provided are: - (A) (-2, 3) - (B) (3, -1) - (C) (2, 3) - (D) (-3, 1) The correct answer is **(B) (3, -1)**.
