The equations of the lines perpendicular to $x^2-5 x y+4 y^2=0$ and passing through $(2,1)$ is

  • A
    $4 x^2+5 x y+y^2-13 x-1=0$
  • B
    $4 x^2+5 x y+y^2-5 x-10 y-7=0$
  • C
    $4 x^2+5 x y+y^2-4 x-4 y-15=0$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $4 x^2+5 x y+y^2-21 x-12 y+27=0$

Solution

Given, lines are $x-4 y=0$ and $x-y=0$ Lines perpendicular to them and passing through $(2,1)$ are $4 x+y-9=0$ and $x+y-3=0$ $\therefore$ Equation of pair of straight lines is $$ \begin{aligned} & (4 x+y-9)(x+y-3)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 4 x^2+5 x y+y^2-21 x-12 y+27=0 \end{aligned} $$

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