  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{50}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Comparing the given equation \[ x^2-5 x y+p y^2+3 x-8 y+2=0 \] with \(a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\) we get \[ a=1, h=\frac{-5}{2}, b=p, g=\frac{3}{2}, f=-4 \text { and } c=2 \] Eq. (i) represents a pair of straight lines, if…
