Visualized Solution (Hindi)
Defining the Three Lines
- Given lines:
- Line L1:x+3y−5=0
- Line L2:3x−ky−1=0
- Line L3:5x+2y−12=0
Condition for Concurrency
- Lines L1,L2,L3 are concurrent if:
- 1353−k2−5−1−12=0
Solving for Concurrency (k=5)
- Expanding the determinant:
- 1(12k+2)−3(−36+5)−5(6+5k)=0
- 12k+2+93−30−25k=0
- −13k+65=0⇒k=5
- Thus, (A) matches with (s).
Checking for Parallelism (L1∥L2)
- For L1∥L2:
- 31=−k3⇒k=−9
- This matches with (p).
Checking for Parallelism (L2∥L3)
- For L2∥L3:
- 53=2−k⇒k=−56
- This matches with (q).
Condition to Form a Triangle
- L1,L2,L3 form a triangle if:
- 1. No two lines are parallel (k=−9,−56)
- 2. Lines are not concurrent (k=5)
- Possible value from Column II is k=65.
- Thus, (C) matches with (r).
Condition for Not Forming a Triangle
- L1,L2,L3 do not form a triangle if:
- 1. They are concurrent (k=5)
- 2. At least two lines are parallel (k=−9 or k=−56)
- Thus, (D) matches with (p), (q), and (s).
Final Summary and Takeaway
- Final Match:
- (A) → (s)
- (B) → (p), (q)
- (C) → (r)
- (D) → (p), (q), (s)
- Key Takeaway: Triangle formation fails if lines are concurrent or parallel.
