Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\pm 8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of given straight line is \(2 x^2+h x y+6 y^2=0 \quad ...\mathrm{(i)}\) Let slope of pair of lines be \(m\) and \(3 m\) \(\therefore\) Pair of equation of straight line \(\begin{aligned} & (y-m x)(y-3 m x)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow y^2-4 m x y+3 m^2 x^2=0 \end{aligned}\)…
