If two sides of a triangle are represented by \(3 x^2-5 x y+2 y^2=0\) and its orthocentre is \((2,1)\), then the equation of the third side is

  1. A \(2 x+y-4=0\)
  2. B \(6 x+3 y-13=0\)
  3. C \(8 x+4 y-17=0\)
  4. D \(10 x+5 y-21=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10 x+5 y-21=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3 x^2-5 x y+2 y^2=0 \implies (x-y)(3x-2y)=0\) Sides are \(L_1: x-y=0\) and \(L_2: 3x-2y=0\). Vertex \(A\) (intersection of \(L_1, L_2\)): \(x-y=0, 3x-2y=0 \implies A(0,0)\). Orthocentre \(H(2,1)\). Altitude from \(A\) to the third side is line \(AH\). Slope of…
