For a > b > c > 0, the distance between (1, 1) and the point of intersection of the lines ax + by + c = 0 and bx + ay + c = 0 is less than 2 2 .Then

  1. a + b - c > 0
  2. a - b + c < 0
  3. a + b - c < 0
  4. None of these

Solution

a - b x + b - a y = 0
x = y
Point of intersection - c a + b , - c a + b
Now using distance formula between two points d=x1-x22+y1-y22

1+ca+b2+1+ca+b2<22
2a+b+ca+b<22

a+b+ca+b<2

⇒a+b+c<2a+b
a + b - c > 0
