2. C
We have (a –b)2 –c2 = 0 ⇒ (a –b + c) (a –b –c) = 0.

3. B
By condition of perpendicularity l + m = 3
l and m are integers ⇒ l = 2, m =1 OR l= 1, m = 2
but (l, m) = (1, 2) make P coincide with q
⇒ 7l – 3m = 7(2) – 3 (1) = 11

4. B

Any line through (–2, –1) is y + 1 = m (x + 2) x +y =1

2m − 1
It touches the circle if = 1 ⇒ m = 0,

∴ Equation of PB is y + 1 = (x + 2)
3
⇒ 4x –3y + 5 = 0
A point on PB is (–5, –5). Its image by the line
y = –1 is (–5, 3).
Hence equation of incident ray PP′ is
3 +1
y–3= (x + 5) ⇒ 4x + 3y + 11 = 0
