Pair Of Straight Lines Question 11

Question: The equation of the perpendiculars drawn from the origin to the lines represented by the equation $ 2x^{2}-10xy+12y^{2}+5x-16y-3=0 $ is

Options:

A) $ 6x^{2}+5xy+y^{2}=0 $

B) $ 6y^{2}+5xy+x^{2}=0 $

C) $ 6x^{2}-5xy+y^{2}=0 $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

We know that the equation of perpendicular drawn from origin on $ ax^{2}+2hxy+by^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0 $ is $ bx^{2}-2hxy+ay^{2}=0 $ .

Therefore, the required equation is given by $ 12x^{2}+10xy+2y^{2}=0 $ or $ 6x^{2}+5xy+y^{2}=0 $ .
