If one of the lines given by the equation \(2 x^2+a x y+3 y^2=0\) coincide with one of those given by the equation \(2 x^2+b x y-3 y^2=0\), while the other two lines are perpendicular to each other, then the values of \(a\) and \(b\) are

  1. A \(a=-5\) and \(b=1\)
  2. B \(a=-4\) and \(b=-1\)
  3. C \(a=4\) and \(b=1\)
  4. D \(a=-5\) and \(b=-1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(a=-5\) and \(b=-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of pair of straight line \(2 x^2+a x y+3 y^2=0\) and \(2 x^2+b x y-3 y^2=0\) Let the slope of line \(m\) and \(m_1\) of the equation \(2 x^2+a x y+3 y^2=0\) \(\therefore \quad m+m_1=\frac{-a}{3}\) and \(m m_1=\frac{2}{3}\) Slope of the other line is \(m\) and…
