Question : A line passing through the origin perpendicularly cuts the line $3x–2y=6$ at point M. Find the co-ordinates of M.

Option 1: $(\frac{18}{13},\frac{12}{13})$

Option 2: $(\frac{18}{13},-\frac{12}{13})$

Option 3: $(-\frac{18}{13},-\frac{12}{13})$

Option 4: $(-\frac{18}{13},\frac{12}{13})$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $(\frac{18}{13},-\frac{12}{13})$


Solution : Given: The line $3x–2y=6$. -------------------------------(1)
Comparing this to $y=mx+c$, we have,
⇒ $2y=3x–6$
⇒ $y=\frac{3x–6}{2}$
⇒ $y=\frac{3x}{2}–3$
$m=\frac{3}{2}$ and $c=–3$
Since the lines are perpendicular to each other,
$m_1×m_2=–1$
⇒ $\frac{3}{2}×m_2=–1$
⇒ $m_2=\frac{–2}{3}$
The line is passing through the origin. So, $c=0$
⇒ $y=mx$

What was the pass percentage in 2008?

Option 1: $33\frac{1}{3}$%

Option 2: $82\frac{6}{17}$%

Option 3: $75$%

Option 4: $85$%

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $75$%

Passed students in 2008 = 50 + 70 + 60 = 180
So the pass percentage in 2008 = $\frac{180}{240}×100=75$%
Hence, the correct answer is 75%.
