Pair Of Straight Lines Question 150

Question: The equation of lines passing through the origin and parallel to the lines $ y=m_1x+c_1 $ and $ y=m_2x+c_2 $ is

Options:

A) $ m_1m_2x^{2}-(m_1+m_2)xy+y^{2}=0 $

B) $ m_1m_2x^{2}+(m_1+m_2)xy+y^{2}=0 $

C) $ m_1m_2y^{2}-(m_1+m_2)xy+x^{2}=0 $

D) $ m_1m_2y^{2}+(m_1+m_2)xy+x^{2}=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Passing through origin and is parallel to given lines are $ y=m_1x $ and $ y=m_2x $ .

If represented as pair of straight lines, we get $ (y-m_1x)(y-m_2x)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow m_1m_2x^{2}-(m_1+m_2)xy+y^{2}=0 $ .
