Let m1,m2 be the slopes of two adjacent sides of a square of side a such that a2+11a+3 m12+m22=220. If one vertex of the square is 10cosα-sinα,10sinα+cosα, where α0,π2 and the equation of one diagonal is cosα-sinαx+sinα+cosαy=10, then 72sin4α+cos4α+a2-3a+13 is equal to
  1. 119
  2. 128
  3. 145
  4. 155

Solution

Given m1 & m2 are slopes of two adjacent sides of square then, m1m2=-1

Also given a2+11a+3m12+m22=220

 a2+11a+3m12+1m12=220

Now on plotting the diagram we get,

Now given equation of AC,

cosα-sinαx+sinα+cosαy=10

Now by property of square we know that diagonals are perpendicular to each other 

So equation of BD will be sinα+cosαx+sinα-cosαy+λ=0 now is passes through D10cosα-sinα,10sinα-cosα,

So, equation of  BD=sinα+cosαx+sinα-cosαy=0

Now slope of AB & AD will be given by angle bisector equation of AC & BD

cosα-sinαx+sinα+cosαy-102=±sinα+cosαx+sinα-cosαy2

Taking positive sign we get,

-2sinαx+2cosαy-10=0, so slope m1=tanα

Now taking negative sign we get,

2cosαx+2sinαy-10=0, so slope m2=-cotα

Now finding a by using distance of point from line 

Now we can see distance of D from AC will be a2,

So, 10cosα-sinα2+10cosα-sinα2-102=a2

a=10

Now putting the value of a, m1 & m2 in a2+11a+3m12+1m12=220 we get,

100+110+3tan2α+cot2α=220

210+3tan2α+cot2α=220

3tan2α+cot2α=10

tan2α+cot2α=103

So this is only possible when tan2α=3 & cot2α=13 or vice versa

So, tan2α=3α=π3

So, 72sin4α+cos4α+a2-3a+13

=72916+116+100-30+13

=7258+83=45+83=128
