The equation \(x y=0\) in three-dimensional space represents

  1. A a pair of straight lines
  2. B a plane
  3. C a pair of planes at right angles
  4. D a pair of parallel planes
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a pair of planes at right angles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because x y=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x=0\) or \(y=0\)
Hence, the locus of \(x y=0\) is the union of all points.
Which lie in \(Y Z\)-plane or on \(Z X\)-plane.
So, the equation \(x y=0\) represents a pair of planes at right angles.
