A straight line ‘L’ is ⊥lr to the line 2x + y – 4 = 0


and cuts x-axis at (3,0), find the ⊥lr distance


from the point (2,-3) to the line ‘L’


a)1/root5




b) 5    c) root5   d) 2 root5

Eqn Perpendicular to eqn 2x+y-3=0 is x-2y+A=0

Since eqn x-2y+A=0 pass through (cut x-axis) at (3,0),

3-0+A=0

A=-3

Therefore, the required eqn is x-2y-3=0

The perpendicular distance from (2,-3) to x-2y-3=0 is [|2+6-3|]/Sqrt(1+4)

Whis is = 5/Sqrt(5)=Sqrt(5)

Therefore answer is c.
