Solution

The correct option is B 3x23y2+8xy20x10y+25=0
Since the triangle is isosceles, and right angled at P, therefore
PQ=PR
And
PQ is perpendicular to PR.
The the combined equation of both PQ and PR should be of the form,
ax2ay2+bxy+cx+dy+e=0
Since they are perpendicular and the coefficients of x2 and y2 will be equal and opposite.
Now the point P must satisfy the equation.
From the above options, the point P (2,1) only satisfies the equation in Option B.
Hence the correct Option is B.
