The correct options are
A x−3y−1=0
B x−3y−21=0
C 3x+y−12=0
D 3x+y−2=0
Side BC will be perpendicular to the bisectors of the angle BAC. Now, equations of the bisectors of lines AB and AC are (x+y−5)√2=±(7x−y−3)5√2
⇒x−3y+11=0or3x+y−7=0
Let altitude through vertex A be AD.
If the equation of AD is 3x+y−7=0 , then the equation of side BC be x−3y+λ=0
Let the angle between AD and AC be θ
tanθ=|−3+11+3|=12
Let AD=λ, then ΔABC=12×[BC]=12×λ=2λ|tanθ|=λ2|tanθ|.
Hence,
λ2×12=5⇒λ2=10
⇒(11−λ)2=100
⇒11−λ=±⇒λ=1,21.
Hence, equation of BC is x−3y+1=0 or x−3y+21=0.
Similarly, if equation of BC is 3x+y+k=0
The equation of AD will be x−3y+11=0.
Hence,
|tanθ|=∣∣
∣∣7−121+73∣∣
∣∣=2
⇒λ2|tanθ|=2λ2=5⇒λ2=52
Also, 52=(3+4+λ)210
⇒7+λ=±5⇒λ=2,−12
Hence, equation of BC is 3x+y+2=0or3x+y−12=0. Finally, there are four possible equations of side BC, viz., x−3y+1=0,x−3y−21=0,3x+y+2=0 or 3x+y−12=0.
