    Triangle made by the lines\[x+y=0,\] \[3x+y=4,\text{ }x+3y=4\]is

    A)  equilateral       

    B)  isosceles

    C)  right angled      

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Given, lines are \[x+y=0,3x+y=4,x+3y=4\] Solving these equations, we get the vertices of the\[\Delta \]ABC as\[A(2,-2),B(1,1)\]and\[C(-2,2)\] \[\therefore \]\[AB=\sqrt{{{(1-2)}^{2}}+{{(1+2)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{1+9}=\sqrt{10}\] \[BC=\sqrt{{{(-2-1)}^{2}}+{{(2-1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}\] and\[CA=\sqrt{{{(2+2)}^{2}}+{{(-2-2)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{16+16}=\sqrt{32}\] \[\because \] \[AB=BC\] Hence, triangle is isosceles.
