If \(2 x^2-10 x y+2 \lambda y^2+5 x-16 y-3=0\) represents a pair of straight lines, then point of intersection of those lines is

  1. A \((2,-3)\)
  2. B \((5,-16)\)
  3. C \(\left(-10, \frac{-7}{2}\right)\)
  4. D \(\left(-10, \frac{-3}{2}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(-10, \frac{-7}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On comparing the given equations with \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\), we get \(a=2, b=2 \lambda, h=-5, g=\frac{5}{2}\), \(f=-8, c=-3\) Since, the given equations represents a pair of straight lines, therefore…
