(c). Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false.
(d). Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true.

Explanation

Solution

Hint: First find the points A, B, C by intersection of sides given in the question. So given an internal angular bisector, the bisector bisects the angle into 2 equal halves hence, it divides the side opposite into 2 parts with ratio of corresponding sides. Equation of angular bisector of two equation of line ax+by+c=0,dx+ey+f=0ax+by+c=0,dx+ey+f=0 is given by
ax+by+ca2+b2=±dx+ey+fd2+e2\dfrac{ax+by+c}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}=\pm \dfrac{dx+ey+f}{\sqrt{{{d}^{2}}+{{e}^{2}}}}
These 2 lines become the equations of bisectors.

Complete step-by-sep answer:

If two lines from an angle then they have 2 angles bisectors because between 2 lines there are 2 angles possible which are acute and obtuse. So, the 2 lines bisecting these 2 angles between lines ax+by+c=0,dx+ey+f=0ax+by+c=0,dx+ey+f=0 are given by
ax+by+ca2+b2=±dx+ey+fd2+e2\dfrac{ax+by+c}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}=\pm \dfrac{dx+ey+f}{\sqrt{{{d}^{2}}+{{e}^{2}}}}
So, the symbol plus or minus denotes 2 equations of bisectors. Out of both any of them may be acute and may be obtuse if one is acute the other is obtuse and vice versa.
Here, B is the intersection of y=0,3x+2y=0y=0,3x+2y=0. So, substituting y in 3x+2y=03x+2y=0 we get x=0x=0
So, B=(0,0)B=\left( 0,0 \right)

Similarly, we calculate A is intersection of y=0,2x+3y+6=0y=0,2x+3y+6=0
So, substituting y in 2x+3y+6=02x+3y+6=0 , we get
2x+6=0 x=32x+6=0\text{ }\Rightarrow x=-3
So, A=(3,0)A=\left( -3,0 \right) similarly we get C=(125,185)C=\left( \dfrac{12}{5},\dfrac{-18}{5} \right)
By bisector equation, we get
3x+2y9+4=±2x+3y+69+4\dfrac{3x+2y}{\sqrt{9+4}}=\pm \dfrac{2x+3y+6}{\sqrt{9+4}}
By simplifying, we get as follows the equation:
3x+2y=2x+3y+63x+2y=2x+3y+6 ; 3x+2y=2x3y63x+2y=-2x-3y-6
By simplifying both equations, we get bisector:
xy6=0x-y-6=0 ; 5x+5y+6=05x+5y+6=0
Image of (p,q)\left( p,q \right) in ax+by+c=0ax+by+c=0 is (h,k)\left( h,k \right) then
xha=ykb=2(ap+bq+c)a2+b2\dfrac{x-h}{a}=\dfrac{y-k}{b}=\dfrac{2\left( ap+bq+c \right)}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}
By substituting (0,0)\left( 0,0 \right) in 5x+5y+6=05x+5y+6=0 we get,
+x+05=+y+05=2(6)52+52=625\dfrac{+x+0}{5}=\dfrac{+y+0}{5}=\dfrac{-2\left( 6 \right)}{{{5}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}}=\dfrac{-6}{25}
By above equation we can say x=625,y=625x=\dfrac{-6}{25},y=\dfrac{6}{25}
Given this statement this point lies on BC.
Equation of BC is 2x+3y+6=02x+3y+6=0
Substituting that point, we get
2(65)+3(65)+6=02\left( \dfrac{-6}{5} \right)+3\left( \dfrac{-6}{5} \right)+6=0
5(65)+6=05\left( \dfrac{-6}{5} \right)+6=0
By simplifying, we get
6+6=0-6+6=0
So, that point lies on side BC.
So, both are true but don't depend on each other.
So, option (b) is the correct answer.

Note: Be careful while calculating angular bisectors. Remember the ±''\pm '' sign, you must get 2 bisector equations. The point specifying that the foot of the bisector equation always lies on the opposite side is very important because this idea will give us the point we require. So whenever you need a point find the conditions on that point such as the line equations which pass through this point.
