Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
For a pair of straight lines, $ abc+2fgh-af^{2}-bg^{2}-ch^{2}=0 $
$ (3)(2)(2)+2\cdot ( \frac{5}{2} )( \frac{5}{2} )( \frac{7}{2} )-3{{( \frac{5}{2} )}^{2}}-2{{( \frac{5}{2} )}^{2}}-2{{( \frac{7}{2} )}^{2}}=0 $ .
Hence, given equation represents a pair of straight lines.
