Question

The combined equation of the pair of lines through the origin and perpendicular to the pair of lines given by ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0, is   

Solution

Correct option is

bx2 – 2hxy + ay2 = 0

 

Let y = m1x and y = m2x be the lines respected by ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0. Then, 

         

The equations of the lines passing through the origin and perpendicular toy = m1x and y = m2x respectively are    

        m1y + x = 0 and m2y + x = 0 

The combined equation of these lines is  

       (m1y + x)(m2y + x) = 0   

  

  

    

Note : The equation of the pair of lines through the origin and perpendicular to the pair of lines given by ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0 can be obtained by interchanging the coefficients of x2 and y2 and changing the sign of the term conaining xy.
