If a variable line drawn through the intersection of the linesx3+y4=1andx4+y3=1, meets the coordinate axes atAandB,A B,then the locus of the midpoint ofABis:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

L1 :4x+3y-12=0

L2:3x+4y-12=0

L1+λL2=0

4x+3y-12+λ3x+4y-12=0

x4+3λ+y3+4λ-121+λ=0

PointA121+λ4+3λ, 0

PointB0,121+λ3+4λ

Mid pointh=61+λ4+3λ.......i

k=61+λ3+4λ.......ii

Eliminateλfrom equationsiandiithen

6h+k= 7hk

Hence, locus is

6x+y= 7xy
