Solution Given: Lines $4ax+2ay+c=0$ and $5bx+2by+d=0$.
Condition: Intersection lies in the 4th quadrant and is equidistant from the axes $\Rightarrow$ point is of the form $(t,-t)$ with $t>0$.
Substitute $y=-x$ in the two lines:
$4ax+2a(-x)+c=0 \;\Rightarrow\; 2x+\dfrac{c}{2a}=0 \;\Rightarrow\; x=-\dfrac{c}{2a}.$
$5bx+2b(-x)+d=0 \;\Rightarrow\; 3x+\dfrac{d}{b}=0 \;\Rightarrow\; x=-\dfrac{d}{3b}.$
Equate $x$ from both: $-\dfrac{c}{2a}=-\dfrac{d}{3b} \;\Rightarrow\; \boxed{3bc=2ad}.$
(QIV check: $x>0,\ y<0 \;\Rightarrow\; \dfrac{c}{a}<0$ and $\dfrac{d}{b}<0$ which is consistent.)

Same Side of a Line — Geometric Condition
Line: \( x + y - 1 = 0 \)
Point 1: (3, 2) → Lies on the side where value is positive:
\[
f(3, 2) = 3 + 2 - 1 = 4 > 0
\]
Point 2: \( (\cos\theta, \sin\theta) \) lies on same side if:
\[
\cos\theta + \sin\theta > 1
\]
Using identity:
\[
\cos\theta + \sin\theta = \sqrt{2} \sin\left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{4}\right)
\Rightarrow \sin\left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) > \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
\]
So:
\[
\theta \in \left(0,\ \frac{\pi}{2}\right)
\]
✅ Final Answer:
\( \boxed{\theta \in \left(0,\ \frac{\pi}{2}\right)} \)

Solution Intersection point $(x,y)$ satisfies:
$\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = k$
$\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = \dfrac{1}{k}$
Subtract → inconsistent unless the meeting point satisfies:
Multiply equations: $\left(\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b}\right)\left(\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b}\right) = 1$
Thus locus:
$\left(\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b}\right)^2 = 1$

Solution Given: Points: \( P(1, 4) \), \( Q(k, 3) \)
Step 1: Find midpoint of PQ
Midpoint = \( \left( \dfrac{1 + k}{2}, \dfrac{4 + 3}{2} \right) = \left( \dfrac{1 + k}{2}, \dfrac{7}{2} \right) \)
Step 2: Find slope of PQ
Slope of PQ = \( \dfrac{3 - 4}{k - 1} = \dfrac{-1}{k - 1} \)
Step 3: Slope of perpendicular bisector = negative reciprocal = \( k - 1 \)
Step 4: Use point-slope form for perpendicular bisector:
\( y - \dfrac{7}{2} = (k - 1)\left(x - \dfrac{1 + k}{2}\right) \)
Step 5: Find y-intercept (put \( x = 0 \))
\( y = \dfrac{7}{2} + (k - 1)\left( -\dfrac{1 + k}{2} \right) \)
\( y = \dfrac{7}{2} - (k - 1)\left( \dfrac{1 + k}{2} \right) \)
Given: y-intercept = -4, so:
\( \dfrac{7}{2} - \dfrac{(k - 1)(k + 1)}{2} = -4 \)
Multiply both sides by 2:
\( 7 - (k^2 - 1) = -8 \Rightarrow 7 - k^2 + 1 = -8 \Rightarrow 8 - k^2 = -8 \)
\( \Rightarrow k^2 = 16 \Rightarrow k = \pm4 \)
✅ Final Answer: $\boxed{k = -4 \text{ or } 4}$

Let the line $\frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{2}=1$ meets the x-axis and y-axis at A and B, respectively. M is the midpoint
of side AB, and M' is the image of the point M across the line x + y = 1. Let the point P lie on

Solution A = $(4,0)$, B = $(0,2)$
Midpoint of AB:
$M=\left(\frac{4+0}{2},\frac{0+2}{2}\right)=(2,1)$
Image of $M(2,1)$ across line $x+y=1$:
$M'=(0,-1)$
Since $AP=BP$, point $P$ lies on perpendicular bisector of AB.
Perpendicular bisector of AB passes through $M(2,1)$ and has slope $2$:
$y-1=2(x-2)$
$y=2x-3$
Also $P$ lies on:
$x+y=1$
So,
$x+2x-3=1$
$3x=4$
$x=\frac{4}{3}$
$y=1-\frac{4}{3}=-\frac{1}{3}$
So,
$P=\left(\frac{4}{3},-\frac{1}{3}\right)$
Distance between $M'(0,-1)$ and $P$:
$d=\sqrt{\left(\frac{4}{3}-0\right)^2+\left(-\frac{1}{3}+1\right)^2}$
$d=\sqrt{\frac{16}{9}+\frac{4}{9}}$
$d=\sqrt{\frac{20}{9}}$
$d=\frac{2\sqrt5}{3}$

NIMCET NIMCET 2025 PYQ
Solution Given lines:
$2y = x + 1$ and $y = 3x + 2$.
From $2y = x + 1$
we get $y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + \dfrac{1}{2}$,
so slope $m_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}$.
From $y = 3x + 2$,
slope $m_2 = 3$.
Angle between two lines:
$ \tan\theta = \left|\dfrac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1 m_2}\right| $
$ \tan\theta = \left|\dfrac{3 - \dfrac{1}{2}}{1 + \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 3}\right|
= \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{2}}{\dfrac{5}{2}} = 1 $
So $\theta = 45^\circ$ or $135^\circ$.
Required obtuse angle $= 135^\circ$.
