Let `P Q R` be a right-angled isosceles triangle, right angled at `P(2,1)dot` If the equation of the line `Q R` is `2x+y=3` , then the equation representing the pair of lines `P Q` and `P R` is (a)`3x^2-3y^2+8x y+20 x+10 y+25=0` (b)`3x^2-3y^2+8x y-20 x-10 y+25=0` (c)`3x^2-3y^2+8x y+10 x+15 y+20=0` (d)`3x^2-3y^2-8x y-15 y-20=0`

A

`3x^(2)-3y^(2)+8xy+20x+10y+25=0`

B

`3x^(2)=3y^(2)+8x-20x-10y+25=0`

C

`3x^(2)-3y^(2)+8xy+10x+15y+20=0`

D

`3x^(2)-3y^(2)-8xy-15y-20=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2


Let m be the slope of PQ . Then ,
`tan45^(@)=|(m-(-2))/(1+m(-2))|=|(m+2)/(1-2m)|`
`:. m+2=1-2mor-1+2m=m+2`
`:. m=-(1)/(3)orm=3`
Hence , the equation of PQ is
`y-1=-(1)/(3)(x-2)`
or `x+3y-5=0` and the equation of PR is
`y-1=3(x-2)`
or `3x-y-5=0`
Hence , the combined equation of PQ and PR is
`(x+3y-5)(3x-y-5)=0`
or ` 3x^(2)-3y^(2)+8xy-20x-10y+25=0`
