If the angle between the lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of \(x+2 y+\lambda=0\) and \(2 x^2-2 x y+3 y^2+2 x-y-1=0\) is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), then a value of \(\lambda\) is

  1. A 1
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C 2
  4. D \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Homogenize: \(2 x^2-2 x y+3 y^2+(2 x-y)\left(\frac{x+2y}{-\lambda}\right)-1\left(\frac{x+2y}{-\lambda}\right)^2=0\) \(2\lambda^2 x^2 - 2\lambda^2 x y + 3\lambda^2 y^2 - \lambda(2x-y)(x+2y) - (x+2y)^2 = 0\)…
