JEE MainMathematicsModerateStraight Lines

Two lines (L_1 and L_2) are drawn from point (α,α)(\alpha,\alpha)
making an angle 45º with the lines
L3≡x+y−f(α)=0L_{3} \equiv x + y - f(\alpha) = 0
and
L4≡x+y+f(α)=0L_{4} \equiv x + y + f(\alpha) = 0. L_1 intersects L_3 and L_4
at A and B and L_2 intersects L_3 and L_4 at C and D respectively

(∣2α∣>∣f(α)∣)(|2\alpha| > |f(\alpha)|). If the area of trapezium ABDC is
independent of
α\alpha. if f(α)=λαqf(\alpha) = \lambda\alpha^{q}, where

Show answer and solution
Distance between AC and vkSj BD nwjh
AC=2(OP−OE)=2(2α−∣f(α)∣2)AC = 2(OP - OE) = 2\left( \sqrt{2}\alpha - \frac{|f(\alpha)|}{\sqrt{2}} \right)
and

So blfy,
AC+BD=42αAC + BD = 4\sqrt{2}\alpha
Area of ABCD =Qy

=122f(α).42α=4αf(α)= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}f(\alpha).4\sqrt{2}\alpha = 4\alpha f(\alpha)
[IMAGE] If Area independent of
α\alpha, then f(α)=kαf(\alpha) = \frac{k}{\alpha}
