Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{aligned} & a b\left(x^2-y^2\right)+\left(a^2-b^2\right) x y=0 \\ & a b x^2+\left(a^2-b^2\right) x y-a b y^2=0 \end{aligned} \] Sum of the coefficient of \(x^2\) and \(y^2\) \[ \text { i.e. } a b-a b=0 \] \(\therefore \quad\) Lines are perpendicular to each…
