Q69.If the three distinct lines x + 2ay + a = 0, x + 3by +b = 0 and x + 4ay + a = 0 are concurrent, then the point (a, b) lies on a : (1) circle (2) hyperbola (3) straight line (4) parabola

What This Question Tests

This problem involves using the section formula to find the coordinates of the intercepts made by a line on the coordinate axes, given a trisection point, and then forming the equation of the line.

Concepts Tested

Section formula (internal division)Equation of a straight line (intercept form)

Formulas Used

If (x,y) divides (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in ratio m:n, then x = (nx1+mx2)/(m+n), y = (ny1+my2)/(m+n)

Equation of a line in intercept form: x/a + y/b = 1
