[AMU 1980]

Options:

A) $ 7x^{2}+23y^{2}+30xy+66x+50y-73=0 $

B) $ 7x^{2}+23y^{2}+30xy-66x-50y-73=0 $

C) $ 7x^{2}+23y^{2}-30xy-66x-50y+73=0 $

D) None of these

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ SS_1=T^{2} $

$ \Rightarrow (x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+4y+3)(36+25-12x-20y+3) $

$ ={{(6x-5y-x-6+2(y-5)+3)}^{2}} $

$ \Rightarrow 7x^{2}+23y^{2}+30xy+66x+50y-73=0 $ .
