(D) Solution of statement - $1$:Let the third vertex be $C(h, k)$.The orthocentre $O$ is $(0, 0)$.Since $AO \perp BC$,the slope of $AO$ is $m_{AO} = \frac{0 - (-1)}{0 - 5} = -\frac{1}{5}$.The slope of $BC$ is $m_{BC} = \frac{k - 3}{h - (-2)} = \frac{k - 3}{h + 2}$.Since $m_{AO} \cdot m_{BC} = -1$,we have $(-\frac{1}{5}) \cdot (\frac{k - 3}{h + 2}) = -1$ $\Rightarrow k - 3 = 5(h + 2)$ $\Rightarrow 5h - k + 13 = 0$ ....$(1)$Since $BO \perp AC$,the slope of $BO$ is $m_{BO} = \frac{0 - 3}{0 - (-2)} = -\frac{3}{2}$.The slope of $AC$ is $m_{AC} = \frac{k - (-1)}{h - 5} = \frac{k + 1}{h - 5}$.Since $m_{BO} \cdot m_{AC} = -1$,we have $(-\frac{3}{2}) \cdot (\frac{k + 1}{h - 5}) = -1$ $\Rightarrow 3(k + 1) = 2(h - 5)$ $\Rightarrow 3k + 3 = 2h - 10$ $\Rightarrow 2h - 3k = 13$ ....$(2)$Solving equations $(1)$ and $(2)$,we get $h = -4$ and $k = -7$.So,the third vertex is $(-4, -7)$. Thus,statement $1$ is correct.Solution of statement - $2$:Given $2a, b, c$ are in $A.P.$,so $2b = 2a + c \Rightarrow 2a - 2b + c = 0$.The line equation is $ax + by + c = 0$.Comparing this with $2a - 2b + c = 0$,we can see that for $x = 2$ and $y = -2$,the equation $a(2) + b(-2) + c = 0$ holds true.Thus,the lines $ax + by + c = 0$ are concurrent at $(2, -2)$. Thus,statement $2$ is correct.
