Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

ax2+2hxy+by2=0 Let the slopes of the lines represented be m, m2 ∴  m+m2=-2hb and mm2=ab ⇒  m3=ab Now, m1+m=-2hb On cubing both sides, we get m31+m3+3m1+m=-8h3b3 ⇒ab1+ab+3-2hb=-8h3b3 ⇒b+ab-6hb=-8h3ab2 ⇒b+a+8h3ab=6h…
