Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(x^2\left(\tan ^2 \alpha+\cos ^2 \alpha\right)-2 x y \tan \alpha+y^2 \sin ^2 \alpha=0\) Comparing this equation with \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0\), We have, \(a=\tan ^2 \alpha+\cos ^2 \alpha, 2 h=-2 \tan \alpha\) and \(b=\sin ^2 \alpha\) Let \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) be the…
