JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Pair of Straight Lines Question Bank Equation of Pair of Straight Lines

  • question_answer
    If the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+b{{y}^{2}}+cx+cy=0\] represents a pair of straight lines, then

    A)            \[a(b+c)=0\]                         

    B)            \[b(c+a)=0\]

    C)            \[c(a+b)=0\]                         

    D)            \[a+b+c=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[ab(0)+2\left( \frac{c}{2} \right)\text{ }\left( \frac{c}{2} \right)\text{ }(0)-a\text{ }{{\left( \frac{c}{2} \right)}^{2}}-b\text{ }{{\left( \frac{c}{2} \right)}^{2}}-0{{(0)}^{2}}=0\]                    \[\Rightarrow a{{c}^{2}}+b{{c}^{2}}=0\ \ \Rightarrow \,{{c}^{2}}(a+b)=0\]\[\Rightarrow c(a+b)=0\].
