Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given pair of lines \[ \begin{aligned} & \left(x^2+y^2\right) \sin ^2 \alpha=(x \cos \alpha-y \sin \alpha)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2 \cos 2 \alpha+y^2(0)-2 x y \sin \alpha \cos \alpha=0 \end{aligned} \] Since lines are perpendicular.…
