    The equation of straight line which cut equal intercepts on axes and passes through the point\[(1,-2)\]is

    A)  \[x+y=1\]         

    B)  \[x-y=1\]

    C)  \[x-y=2\]        

    D)  \[x+y+1=0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Since, straight line cut equal intercept on the axes. \[\therefore \]Equation of line is \[x\pm y=a\]          ... (i) Since, it passes through the point\[(1,-2)\] \[\therefore \] \[a=1\pm (-2)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=-1,3\] \[\therefore \]Required equation of line is \[x+y=-1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x+y+1=0\] and       \[x-y=3\] \[x-y-3=0\]
