The locus represented by \( x y+y z=0 \) is

  1. A A pair of perpendicular lines
  2. B A pair of parallel lines
  3. C A pair of parallel planes
  4. D A pair of perpendicular planes
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A pair of perpendicular planes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the locus
\[
\begin{array}{l}
x y+y z=0 \\
\Rightarrow y(x+z)=0 \\
\Rightarrow \vec{y} \cdot(\vec{x}+\vec{z})=0
\end{array}
\]
Therefore, it represents a pair of perpendicular planes.
