Detailed Solution

 Let the lines represented by ax22hxyby2=0 be y=m1x and y=m2x.

Therefore, m1m2=-2hb and m1m2=ab

The lengths of the perpendiculars from x1,y1 on these lines are

y1-m1x11+m12 and y1-m2x11+m22

Their product =y1-m1x11m12×y1-m2x11m22

=y1-m1x1y1-m2x11+m121+m22 

=y12-m1+m2x1y1+m1m2x121+m12+m22+m12m22 

=y12-m1+m2x1y1+m1m2x121+m1+m22-2m1m2+m1m22 

=y12+2hbx1y1+abx121+4h2b2-2ab+a2b2 

=ax12+2hx1y1+by12(a-b)2+4h2

hence, the correct answer is option 1.
