The correct answer is: x+2y=6

Given point B lie on the line x-y-2=0, so the point will be Bx1,x1-2

Now given distance between AB is  293, so by distance formula,

x1-42+x1-2-32=293

Now on squaring on both side we get,

18x12-162x1+340=0

On solving we get, x1=519 or x1=103

So, y1=339 or y1=43

Now we can see only x+2y=6 will satisfy the point 103,43
