The ratio of the number of students in schools X and Y is 4:7. if 15 students from Y join X, then the ratio becomes 1:1. What is the total number of students in the schools X and Y?
Correct Answer - B
`(x_1+t(x_2-x_1),y_1+t(y_2-y_1)-=(x_1(1-t)+tx_2,y_1(1-t)+(ty_2)` is the point whihc divides the join of `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` in the ratio `t:(1-t)`, whihch is positive oif `0lttlt1`.
Correct Answer - 7
Using section formula `A-=((3k-5)/(k+1),(5k+1)/(k+1))`.
Area of triangle ABC is 2 sq. units. Therefore,
`(1)/(2)|{:(1,,5,,1),(7,,-2,,1),((3k-5)/(k+1),,(5k+1)/(k+1),,1):}|=+-2`
Operating `R_2toR_2-R_1,R_3toR_3toR_1`, we get
`|{:(1,,5,,1),(6,,-7,,0),((3k-5)/(k+1),,(5k+1)/(k+1)-5,,0):}|=+-4`
or `6((5k+1-5k-5)/(k+1))+7((3k-1-5k-1)/(k+1))=+-4`
or `-24+7(2k-6)=+-4(k+1)`
i.e., `k=7 or k=(31)/(9)`
