Is the minimum -2 and maximum 11 ?

Yes It is.. Now It's verified.

\frac{4x^2+9y^2-12xy}{x^2+y^2}-2=\frac{(2x-3y)^2}{x^2+y^2} -2

Now take either y/x as t

or x=r sin theta, y = r cos theta...

and then it is a simple maxima minima problem?

How did u solve it vivek?

Sir, i got it somehow using partial derivative.. partial differentiating it w.r.t x or y, it will give two values of x (w.r.t y). Putting that in above we get y2 or x2 terms get cancelled giving perfect -2 and 11 as answers?

Secondly I had used what you said as first method.. (y/x = t)

Now, As you have shown one arrangement , the left side is always positive so min. becomes -2. Similar could be done for upper bound..(in the AoPs link mentioned )
