  1. A 10
  2. B \(\frac{7}{2}\)
  3. C -12
  4. D -2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) -12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, conjugate lines are \(2 x+3 y+12=0\) ...(i) and \(\quad x-y+k=0\) ...(ii) We know, that two lines are said to be conjugate with respect to a curve, if each passes through the pole of the polar of that curve. Let \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)\) be the pole of parabola…
