Question

The equation x3 + ax2y + bxy2 + y3 = 0 represents three straight lines, two of which are perpendicular, then the equation of the third line is  

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let  be the lines represented by the given equation. Then,

    

   

     

and,  

          

Let  be perpendicular lines. Then,  

       

   

Thus, the third line is y = m3x i.e. y = x.
