If \(h^2=a b\), then the slopes of lines represented by \(a x^2-2 h x y+b y^2=0\) would be in the ratio

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(2: 1\)
  3. C \(2: 3\)
  4. D \(1: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(h^2=a b\) and \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0\) Divide by \(x^2\), we obtain \[ b m^2+2 h m+a=0 \] \([\because y=m x\) is equation of line through origin, i.e. \[ \left.\frac{y}{x}=m\right] \]…
