The correct answer is:
$(4,-1)$
Given, equations of pair of straight lines

both represents pair of perpendicular lines.
Now, the point of intersection the lines given by $a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0$ is
$\left(\frac{h f-b g}{a b-h^2}, \frac{g h-a f}{a b-h^2}\right)$, So for the pair of lines (ii), the point of intersection is
$$
\begin{aligned}
& A\left(\frac{h(-2)-(-3)(1)}{-9-h^2}, \frac{h-3(-2)}{-9-h^2}\right) \\
& =A\left(\frac{2 h-3}{9+h^2},-\frac{h+6}{9+h^2}\right)
\end{aligned}
$$
The equation of diagonal of square passes through
and the equation of diagonal of square not passes
The diagonals given by the Eqs. (iii) and (iv) are perpendicular if
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
& \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{h+6}{3-2 h}\right)=-1 \\
\Rightarrow & h+6=4 h-6 \\
\Rightarrow & 3 h=12 \\
\Rightarrow & h=4
\end{array}
$$
So, point $A=\left(\frac{8-3}{9+16},-\frac{10}{9+16}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{2}{5}\right)$
And the line (iv) passes through the mid-point ' $M$ 'of line joining points $A\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{2}{5}\right)$ and $O(0,0)$.
So, $M=\left(\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{5}\right)$.
