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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, the pairs of straight lines \(x^2-2 p x y-y^2=0\) and \(x^2-2 q x y-y^2=0\) bisects the angle between other pairs. Since, we know that the pair of bisectors of the angle between the pair of straight lines \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0\) is…
