If a particle moving along $x-2 y-3=0$ gets reflected in a perpendicular direction upon hitting the line $3 x-2 y-5=0$, then the line of the movement of the particle after reflection is
  1. $2 x+y+1=0$
  2. $2 x+y-1=0$
  3. $2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-3=0$
  4. $2 x+y+3=0$

Solution

Given line in $x-2 y-3=0$ which reflected by the line $3 \mathrm{x}-2 \mathrm{y}-5=0$. Let the slope of reflected ray in $\mathrm{m}^1$ $ 2 \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}-3 $ $ y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{3}{2} $ $ \mathrm{m}_1=\frac{1}{2} $ As inclined ray and reflected ray are normal to each other then, $\mathrm{mm}^1=-1$. So, $\mathrm{m}^1=-2$. Intersection of two lines $x-2 y-3=0$ and $3 x-2 y-5$ $=0$ is $(1,-1)$. Required equation of line $=(y+1)=-2(x-1)$ $ \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-1=0 $
