    The equation \[4{{x}^{2}}-24xy+11{{y}^{2}}=0\]represents  [Orissa JEE 2003]

    A)            Two parallel lines               

    B)            Two perpendicular lines

    C)            Two lines through the origin

    D)            A circle

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Given equation is \[4{{x}^{2}}-24xy+11{{y}^{2}}=0\]            \[4{{x}^{2}}-22xy-2xy+11{{y}^{2}}=0\]                    \[2x(x-11y)-2y(x-11y)=0\] Þ \[(2x-2y)\,(x-11y)=0\]                    \[2x-2y=0\] or \[x-11y=0\], \ \[y=x\] or \[y=\frac{x}{11}\]                    Since, both the lines-passing through the origin.
