If the orthocentre of the triangle, whose vertices are 1,2,2,3 and 3,1 is α,β, then the quadratic equation whose roots are α+4β and 4α+β, is
  1. x2-19x+90=0
  2. x2-18x+80=0
  3. x2-22x+120=0
  4. x2-20x+99=0

Solution

We have,

Here mBH×mAC=-1

β-3α-21-2=-1

β-3=2α-4

β=2α-1        ....(1)

mAH×mBC=-1

β-2α-1-2=-1

2β-4=α-1

Using (1), we can write:

2(2α-1)-4=α-1

22α-1=α+3

3α=5

α=53, β=73H53,73

α+4β=53+283=333=11

β+4α=73+203=273=9

Required equation is

x2-20x+99=0
