Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 x-y+3=0\) and \(4 x+k y+3=0\) are conjugate with respect to ellipse \(5 x^2+6 y^2-15=0\) We know that \(a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1=0\) and \(a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2=0\) are conjugate with \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b}=1\) Then, \(a^2 a_1 a_2+b^2 b_1 b_2=c_1 c_2\) \(\therefore\) Here,…
