Solution

The correct option is C (16,2)




M=(a82,b+122) is the mid point of AA'.
It lies on 4x+7y+13=0
So, 4(a82)+7(b+122)+13=0
2(a8)+7b+842+13=0
4a32+7b+84+26=0
4a+7b+78=0......()

Since AA' PQ, so
Slope (PQ) × Slope (AA') = -1
47×b12a+8=1
4b+48=7a56
7a4b+104=0......(2)
Multiplying equations (1) by 4 and equation (2) by 7, we get
16a+28b=312
49a28b=728
By adding above two equations, we get
16a+49a=312728
65a=1040
a=16
Substitute a=16 in equation (1), we get
4(16)+7b+78=0
64+7b+78=0
7b+14=0
7b=14
b=2
Hence, required image point is (16,2).
