Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) -2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & 4 x^2+2 \lambda x y-7 y^2=0 \\ & a=4,2 h=2 \lambda, b=-7 \end{aligned}\) Given, sum of slopers = product of slopers \(\begin{aligned} m_1+m_2 & =m_1 m_2 \\ \frac{-2 h}{b} & =\frac{a}{b} \\ \frac{-2 \lambda}{-7} & =\frac{4}{-7} \\ \lambda & =-2 \end{aligned}\)…
