Solution

The correct option is B 225
12x2+25xy+12y2=12x2+16xy+9xy+12y2=(4x+3y)(3x+4y)

So, the required pair of lines are
4x+3y+λ1=0 and 3x+4y+λ2=0
Therefore,
(4x+3y+λ1)(3x+4y+λ2)=12x2+25xy+12y2+10x+11y+2λ1λ2=2

Perpendicular distance from (0,0) to 4x+3y+λ1=λ15 units
Perpendicular distance from (0,0) to 3x+4y+λ2=λ25units

So, product of perpendicular distances =λ1.λ225=225 sq units
