Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^2+y^2-17 x-19 y+50=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of circle circumscribing the triangle formed by the straight lines, \(x+y=6,2 x+y=4\) and \(x+2 y=5\) is \(\begin{aligned} & (x+y-6)(2 x+y-4)+\lambda(2 x+y-4)(x+2 y-5) \\ & +\mu(x+2 y-5)(x+y-6)=0 \end{aligned}\) \(\because\) For a circle the coefficients of terms…
