  • B
    $6 \mathrm{k}^2+5 \mathrm{k}-52=0$
  • C
    $6 \mathrm{k}^2-5 \mathrm{k}+52=0$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $6 \mathrm{k}^2-5 \mathrm{k}-52=0$

Solution

Given line $2 x+3 y=k$ $$ \Rightarrow \frac{2 x+3 y}{k}=1 ...(i) $$ Also given, $3 x^2-x y+3 y^2+2 x-3 y-4=0$ Now homogenising the above equation $$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 3 x^2-x y+3 y^2+2 x(1)-3 y(1)-4(1)^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 3 x^2-x y+3 y^2+2 x\left(\frac{2 x+3 y}{k}\right)-3 y\left(\frac{2 x+3 y}{k}\right) \\ & -4\left(\frac{2 x+3 y}{k}\right)^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 3 x^2-x y+3 y^2+\frac{\left(4 x^2+6 x y\right)}{k}-\frac{\left(6 x y+9 y^2\right)}{k} \\ & -\frac{4\left(4 x^2+9 y^2+12 x y\right)}{k^2}=0 \\ & 3 x^2 k^2-x y k^2+3 y^2 k^2+4 x^2 k+6 x y k-6 x y k \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{-9 y^2 k-16 x^2-36 y^2-48 x y}{k^2}=0 \\ & \end{aligned} $$ $$ \Rightarrow x^2\left(3 k^2+4 k-16\right)+y^2\left(3 k^2-9 k-36\right)+x y\left(-k^2-48\right)=0 $$ The above equation represents the pair of equation, According to question, these lines perpendicular to each other Therefore, $\left(\right.$ Coefficient of $\left.x^2\right)+\left(\right.$ Coefficient of $\left.y^2\right)=0$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left(3 k^2+4 k-16\right)+\left(3 k^2-9 k-36\right)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 6 k^2-5 k-52=0 \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
