Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Given equation is $ 4x^{2}-24xy+11y^{2}=0 $

$ 4x^{2}-22xy-2xy+11y^{2}=0 $

$ 2x(x-11y)-2y(x-11y)=0 $

Therefore $ (2x-2y)(x-11y)=0 $

$ 2x-2y=0 $ or $ x-11y=0 $ , \ $ y=x $ or $ y=\frac{x}{11} $ .

Since, both the lines-passing through the origin.
