AP EAMCET · Maths · Pair of Lines

If pairs of straight lines \(x^2-2 p x y-y^2=0\) and \(x^2-2 q x y-y^2=0\) be such that each pair bisects the angle between the other pair, then

  1. A \(p q=1\)
  2. B \(p q=2\)
  3. C \(p q=-2\)
  4. D \(p q=-1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(p q=-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of angle bisector for \(\begin{array}{rlrl} a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{x^2-y^2}{a-b} & =\frac{x y}{h} \end{array}\) and for \(x^2-2 p x y-y^2=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^2-y^2}{1-(-1)}=\frac{x y}{-p} \Rightarrow x^2-y^2+\frac{2 x y}{p}=0\) Given…
