Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both are correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Solution of statement - 1 \(m _{AO} \cdot m _{BC}=-1\) \(\Rightarrow 5 h- k +13=0\)\(\quad\)....(1) \(\&\ m_{ AB } \cdot m _{OC}=-1\) \(\Rightarrow 4 k =7 h\)\(\quad\)...(2) ⇒ third vertex is \((-4,-7)\) \(\therefore\) Statement 1 is correct. Solution of statement - 2…
