[UPSEAT 1999]

Options:

A) $ bm^{2}+2hm+a=0 $

B) $ bm^{2}+2hm-a=0 $

C) $ am^{2}+2hm+b=0 $

D) $ bm^{2}-2hm+a=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Substituting the value of y in the equation $ ax^{2}+2hxy+by^{2}=0 $ .
$ \Rightarrow ax^{2}+2h(mx)x+b{{(mx)}^{2}}=0 $

$ \Rightarrow a+2hm+bm^{2}=0 $ .
