Let ABC be a triangle with

Question:

Let $\mathrm{ABC}$ be a triangle with $\mathrm{A}(-3,1)$ and $\angle \mathrm{ACB}=\theta, 0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}$. If the equation of the median through $\mathrm{B}$ is $2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-3=0$ and the equation of angle bisector of $C$ is $7 x-4 y-1=0$, then $\tan \theta$ is equal to:

  1. $\frac{1}{2}$

  2. $\frac{3}{4}$

  3. $\frac{4}{3}$

  4. 2


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

$\therefore \quad \mathrm{M}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}-3}{2}, \frac{\mathrm{b}+1}{2}\right)$ lies on $2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-3=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=11$

$\because \quad$ C lies on $7 x-4 y=1$

$\Rightarrow 7 \mathrm{a}-4 \mathrm{~b}=1$

$\therefore$ by (i) and (ii) : $\mathrm{a}=3, \mathrm{~b}=5$

$\Rightarrow C(3,5)$

$\therefore \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{AC}}=2 / 3$

Also, $\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{CD}}=7 / 4$

$\Rightarrow \tan \frac{\theta}{2}=\left|\frac{\frac{2}{3}-\frac{4}{4}}{1+\frac{14}{12}}\right| \Rightarrow \tan \frac{\theta}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \tan \theta=\frac{2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{4}{3}$
