    The real value of a for which the value of \[m\] satisfying the equation \[({{a}^{2}}-1){{m}^{2}}-(2a-3)m\,+a=0\]gives the slope of a line parallel to the\[y-\]axis is

    A)  3/2                       

    B)  0

    C)  1                                            

    D) \[\pm \,1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     A line parallel to the \[y-\]axis has the slope \[\infty .\] Thus, \[({{a}^{2}}-1){{m}^{2}}-(2a-3)m+a=0\]must have one infinite root. \[\therefore \]\[{{a}^{2}}-1=0\](\[\because \]both roots cannot be\[\infty \]then \[{{a}^{2}}-1\]) \[=0,2a-3=0\]are to hold for the same a)
