  1. A \(\mathrm{p} \mathrm{q} < 0\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}=0\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{p} \mathrm{q}>0\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{pq}=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{p} \mathrm{q}>0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lines represented by \(\mathrm{px}^2-\mathrm{qy}^2=0\) are distinct.
Here \(\mathrm{h}=0, \mathrm{a}=\mathrm{p}\) and \(\mathrm{b}=-\mathrm{q}\)
Now \(\mathrm{h}^2-\mathrm{ab}>0 \Rightarrow 0+\mathrm{pq}>0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{pq}>0\)
