If one of the lines in the pair of straight line given by \(4 x^2+6 x y+k y^2=0\) bisects the angle between the coordinate axes, then \(k \in\)

  1. A \(\{-2,-10\}\)
  2. B \(\{-2,10\}\)
  3. C \(\{-10,2\}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\{-10,2\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, one of the lines represented by \(a x^2+2 h x y+k y^2=0 \quad\) bisect the angle between the axes therefore its equation is \(y=x\). Since, \(y=x\) satisfies \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0\), therefore \(a x^2+2 h x^2+b x^2=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad(a+b)^2=4 h^2\) ...(i) Now for…
