Q87 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2016 · Mathematics

The equation of the pair of straight lines through the point $(1,1)$ and perpendicular to the pair of straight lines $3 x^2-8 x y+5 y^2=0$ is

  • A
    $5 x^2+8 x y+3 y^2-14 x-18 y+16=0$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $5 x^2+8 x y+3 y^2-18 x-14 y+16=0$
  • C
    $5 x^2-8 x y+3 y^2-18 x-14 y+32=0$
  • D
    $5 x^2-8 x y+3 y^2-14 x-18 y+32=0$

Solution

We know that, the equations of the line passing through the origin and perpendicular to the lines given by $3 x^2-8 x y+5 y^2=0$ is $5 x^2+8 x y+3 y^2=0$ Now, shifting the origin at $(1,1)$ the equations of the required lines are $$ \begin{aligned} & 5(x-1)^2+8(x-1)(y-1)+3(y-1)^2=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 5\left(x^2+1-2 x\right)+8(x y-x-y+1)+3\left(y^2+1-2 y\right)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 5 x^2+5-10 x+8 x y-8 x-8 y+8+3 y^2 \\ & +3-6 y=0 \\ \therefore \quad & 5 x^2+8 x y+3 y^2-18 x-14 y+16=0 \end{aligned} $$

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