Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given pair of straight lines, \[ \begin{aligned} & x^2-4 x y+y^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x^2-4 x y+4 y^2=3 y^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad(x-2 y)^2-(\sqrt{3} y)^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x-(2+\sqrt{3}) y=0 \\ & \text { or } \quad x-(2-\sqrt{3}) y=0 \\ & \end{aligned} \] So,…
