If the line $x+2 y=k$ intersects the curve $x^2-x y+y^2+3 x+3 y-2=0$ at two points $A$ and $B$ and if $O$ is the origin, then the condition for $\angle \mathrm{AOB}=90^{\circ}$ is
  1. $k^2+k+1=0$
  2. $k^2-2 k+10=0$
  3. $2 k^2+9 k-10=0$
  4. $3 k^2+8 k-1=0$

Solution

We have, $ x^2-x y+y^2+3 x+3 y-2=0 $ and $ x+2 y=k \Rightarrow \frac{x+2 y}{k}=1 $ By homogeneous of Eq. (i), we get $ \begin{aligned} x^2-x y+y^2+3 x & \left(\frac{x+2 y}{k}\right) \\ & +3 y\left(\frac{x+2 y}{k}\right)-2\left(\frac{x+2 y}{k}\right)^2=0 \end{aligned} $ $ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow k^2 x^2-k^2 x y+k^2 y^2+3 k x^2+6 k x y+3 k x y+6 k y^2 & \\ & -2 x^2-8 x y-8 y^2=0 \\ \Rightarrow x^2\left(k^2+3 k-2\right)-\left(k^2-9 k+8\right) & \\ x y+\left(k^2+6 k-8\right) y^2 & =0 \end{aligned} $ Since, $\angle A O B=90^{\circ}$ $ \begin{aligned} & \therefore k^2+3 k-2+k^2+6 k-8=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 2 k^2+9 k-10=0 \end{aligned} $
