MHT CET · Maths · Pair of Lines

If a pair of lines \(x^{2}-2 p x y-y^{2}=0\) and \(x^{2}-2 q x y-y^{2}=0\) is such that each pair bisects the angle between the other pair, then

  1. A \(p q=-1\)
  2. B \(p q=1\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=0\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{q}=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(p q=-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(x^{2}+\frac{2 x y}{p}-y^{2}=0\), is the angle bisectors of \(x^{2}-2 p x y-y^{2}=0\)
But given that angle bisectors are
\(\therefore\) \(x^{2}-2 q x y-y^{2}=0\) \(-2 q=2 / p\)
\(\Rightarrow p q=-1\)
