A variable line passes through a fixed point P . The algebraic sum of the perpendicular drawn from (2,0), (0, 2) and (1, 1) on the line is zero, then the coordinates of the P are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let 
then the equation of line passing through P and whose gradient is m , is 
Now according to the condition
⇒ ⇒ 
Since it is a variable line, so hold for every value of m . Therefore 
.
