A

x+3y=-1

B

x+3y=19

C

3x-y=-9

D

3x-y=11

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

Given lines are mutually perpendicular and intersect at `A((6)/(5), (13)/(5))`.

Equation of angle bisectors `B_(1) " and " B_(2)` of the given lines are
`x-2y+4 =+-(2x+y-5)`
or x+3y=9 and 3x-y=1
Side BC will be parallel to these bisectors
Let AD = a.
`therefore AB = asqrt(2)`
`"Area of triangle " ABC = (1)/(2) xx (asqrt(2))^(2) = a^(2)`
`therefore a^(2) = 10 " " ("Given")`
`"or " a = sqrt(10)`
Let equations of BC be `x+3y = lambda. "Then"`
`sqrt(10) = (|(18)/(5) - (13)/(5) - lambda|)/(sqrt(10))`
`lambda = -9, 11`
Therefore, equation of BC is 3x-y=-9 or 3x-y = 11
