Solution

The correct option is B x2+y23x+4y3=0

L1:(xy6)+λ(2x+y+3)=0
Intersection point of these two lines
xy6=0 and 2x+y+3=0 is (1,5)
L2:(x+2y4)+μ(3x2y4)=0
Intersection point of these two lines x+2y4=0 and 3x2y4=0 is (2,1).
Since lines of these two families are perpendicular to each other,
(1,5) and (2,1) will be the diametric end points of a circle.
Hence, (x1)(x2)+(y+5)(y1)=0
x2+y23x+4y3=0 is the locus of their point of intersection.
