Let \(a\) and \(b\) two non-zero real numbers. The equation
\(\left(a x^2+b y^2+c\right)\left(x^2-5 x y+6 y^2\right)\)
Four straight lines, when \(c=0\) and \(a, b\) are of the same sign.

  1. A A circle and an ellipse, when \(a\) and \(b\) are of the same sign and \(c\) is of sign opposite to that of \(a\)
  2. B two straight lines and a hyperbola when \(a\) and \(b\) are of the same sign and \(c\) is of sign
  3. C Opposite to that of \(a\)
  4. D two straight lines and a circle, when \(a=b\) and \(c\) is of sign opposite to that of \(a\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) two straight lines and a circle, when \(a=b\) and \(c\) is of sign opposite to that of \(a\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because a=b\) and \(c\) is of opposite sign
\(\Rightarrow a x^2+b y^2+c=0\) will represent a circle \(x^2-5 x y+6 y^2\) represent a pair of straight line passing through the origin
Hence, option ' \(\mathrm{D}\) ' is correct.
