    A variable line drawn through the point (1, 3) meets the\[x-\]axis at A and y-axis at B. If the rectangle OAPB is completed, where 0 is the origin, then locus of y is

    A)  \[1/y+3/x=1\]

    B)  \[x+3y=1\]

    C)  \[1/x+3/y=1\]

    D)  \[3x+y=1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Let the line be\[\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1,\]then \[\frac{1}{a}+\frac{3}{b}=1\] \[A=(a,0),B=(0,b)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[P=(a,b)\] Thus, locus of p is\[\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{y}=1\]
