Description : The line through the points (4, 3) and (2, 5) cuts off intercepts of lengths λ and μ on the axes. Which one of the following is correct ? -Maths 9th
Last Answer : (c) a, b, c are in H.P. only for all m As the points A(a, ma), B[b, (m + 1)b] and C[c, (m + 2)c] are collinear. Area of Δ ABC should be equal to zero.⇒ \(rac{1}{2}\)[x1(y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + ... - bc = 0 ⇒ ab + bc = 2ac ⇒ b = \(rac{2ac}{a+c}\)∴ a, b, c are harmonic progression (H.P.) for all m.
