  1. A \(h^2=a+b\)
  2. B \(a+b=0\)
  3. C \(h^2=a b\)
  4. D \(h=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(a+b=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Pair of straight lines through origin are given by \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0\) Angle " \(\theta\) ' between lines is given by, \(\tan \theta=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{h^2-a b}}{a+b}\right|\) When lines are perpendicular \(\theta=90^{\circ}\)…
