Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^2+xy-2y^2=0 \implies (x+2y)(x-y)=0\) \(3y^2-5xy-2x^2=0 \implies (2x-y)(x+3y)=0\) Lines \(x+2y=0\) (slope \(-1/2\)) and \(2x-y=0\) (slope \(2\)) are perpendicular. The other lines are \(x-y=0\) and \(x+3y=0\). Combined equation: \((x-y)(x+3y)=0 \implies x^2+2xy-3y^2=0\)…
