JEE Main 2024 — 5 April, Shift 1 — Question 16

If 11+2+12+3+…+199+100=m\frac{1}{\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{\sqrt{99}+\sqrt{100}}=m and 11⋅2+12⋅3+…+199⋅100=n\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3}+\ldots+\frac{1}{99 \cdot 100}=n,

then the point (m,n)(m, n) lies on the line

  1. Option A:

    11(x−1)−100(y−2)=011(x-1)-100(y-2)=0

  2. Option B:

    11(x−2)−100(y−1)=011(x-2)-100(y-1)=0

  3. Option C:

    11(x−1)−100y=011(x-1)-100 y=0

  4. Option D:

    11x−100y=011 x-100 y=0

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

11+2+12+3+…+199+100=m\frac{1}{\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{\sqrt{99}+\sqrt{100}}=m

1−2−1+2−3−1…99−100−1=m\frac{\sqrt{1}-\sqrt{2}}{-1}+\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{-1} \ldots \frac{\sqrt{99}-\sqrt{100}}{-1}=m

100−1=m⇒ m=9\sqrt{100}-1=m \Rightarrow \mathrm{~m}=9

11⋅2+12⋅3+…199⋅100=n\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3}+\ldots \frac{1}{99 \cdot 100}=n

11−12+12−13…199−1100=n\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3} \ldots \frac{1}{99}-\frac{1}{100}=\mathrm{n}

1−1100=n1-\frac{1}{100}=\mathrm{n}

99100=n\frac{99}{100}=\mathrm{n}

(m,n)=(9,99100)(m, n)=\left(9, \frac{99}{100}\right)

⇒11(9)−100(99100)\Rightarrow 11(9)-100\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)

=99−99=0=99-99=0

11x−100y=011 x-100 y=0
