Options:

A) $ \frac{10}{3} $

B) $ \frac{-8}{3} $

C) $ \frac{-10}{3} $

D) $ \frac{8}{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Here, $ g_1=\frac{k}{2},,f_1=2,,c_1=2 $

$ g_2=-1,,f_2=\frac{-3}{4},,c_2=\frac{k}{2} $ Condition for orthogonal intersection,

therefore $ 2(g_1g_2+f_1f_2)=c_1+c_2 $

therefore $ 2,[ \frac{-k}{2}+( \frac{-3}{2} ) ]=2+\frac{k}{2} $

therefore $ -k-3=2+\frac{k}{2} $

therefore $ \frac{3k}{2}=-5 $ ; $ k=\frac{-10}{3} $ .
