Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \text { Given, } & & x^2-2 x y-x y+2 y^2 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & (x-2 y)(x-y) & =0\end{aligned}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x=2 y, \quad x=y\) ...(i) Also, \(x+y+1=0\) ...(ii) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get…
