Suppose the pairs of straight lines \(2 x^2+a x y+3 y^2=0\) and \(2 x^2+b x y-3 y^2=0\) are such that they have one common line with the other two remaining perpendicular. Then the values of \(a\) and \(b\) respectively are

  1. A \(-5,1\)
  2. B \(5,-1\)
  3. C 5,1
  4. D \(5, \frac{1}{5}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5,1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0\) ...(i) If the slope of 2 lines representing ...(i) are \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) then \(\begin{aligned} & m_1+m_2=-2 h / b \\ & m_1 \cdot m_2=a / b\end{aligned}\) For \(2 x^2+a x y+3 y^2=0\) ...(ii) If slope of common line is \(m\) and slope of other 2…
