Solution

The correct option is B (1,2)
Given circle is
x2+y2+4x+6y+9=0
Let pole be (h,k)
Now, the equation of polar,
T=0x(h)+y(k)+2(x+h)+3(y+k)+9=0
(h+2)x+(k+3)y+(2h+3k+9)=0
But, the given polar equation is
3x+5y+17=0
Comparing both, we get
h+23=k+35=2h+3k+917
Now,
h+23=k+355h+10=3k+9h=3k15(1)
And
k+35=2h+3k+91717k+51=10h+15k+45
Using equation (1), we get
2k+6=6k2k=2h=1

Hence, the pole is (1,2)
