Solution

The correct option is B x2+y24x4y+6=0
y1=m1(x3) having coordintaes (3,1) and slope m1
y3=m2(x1) javing coordinates (1,3) and slope m2
m1=y1x3 and m2=y3x1

Given: The two family of straight lines, cut at right angles to each other.
m1m2=1

y1x3×y3x1=1

(y1)(y3)=(x3)(x1)
y24y+3=(x24x+3)
y24y+3+x24x+3=0
x2+y24x4y+6=0

Thus, the locus of their point of intersection is x2+y24x4y+6=0.
