A,B Correct answer
Explanation

The pair of lines represented by $\displaystyle :3ax^{2}+5xy+\left ( a^{2}-2 \right )y^{2}= 0$ and at right angles to each other.
pair of lines given by $ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0$ are at right angles if $a+b=0$
$\Rightarrow 3a+a^2-2=0$
$\Rightarrow a^2+3a-2=0$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Given equation of the pair of straight lines is  $x^{2}-4xy-y^{2}=0$

Since, coefficient of $x^2$ + coefficient of $y^2$ $= 0$ 

The two lines are perpendicular.

Therefore, triangle formed is right angled.

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to $x-7y+5=0$ and having x-intercept 3.

  1. $x+y-21=0$
  2. $x-7y+21=0$
  3. $7x+y-21=0$
  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The equation of a line perpendicular to $x-7y+5=0$ is $7x+y+\lambda =0$.


Its x-intercept is 3. This means that the line cuts x-axis at a distance of 3 units from the origin. Consequently, it passes through the point (3,0) on x-axis.


Therefore, $21+0+\lambda =0$

$\lambda = -21$

Thus, the equation of the required line is $7x+y-21=0$.

  2. -5

  4. -4

A,D Correct answer
Explanation

The given equation is $ax^3 - 9yx^2 -y^2x + 4y^3 = 0$, which represents three straight lines.


We can see that all the lines passes from origin $(0,0)$

Let's assume the lines are given by equation $y = mx$

Putting $y = mx$ in the given equation of three straight lines, we get,

$\Rightarrow ax^3- 9(mx)(x^2) - (mx)^2x + 4(mx)^3 = 0$

$\Rightarrow (a - 9m - m^2 + 4m^3) x^3 = 0$

$\Rightarrow 4m^3 -m^2 -9m +a = 0$ ....$(1)$

This equation in $m$ has three roots, $m _1$, $m _2$ and $m _3$, which are three slopes of three lines respectively.

If the two lines are perpendicular then let's assume $m _1.m _2 = -1$,

Product of roots in equation $(1)$ is $m _1.m _2.m _3 = \dfrac{-a}{4}$

Hence $m _3 = \dfrac{a}{4}$

also from equation $(1)$, $m _1 + m _2 + m _3 = \dfrac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow m _1m _2 + m _3(m _1 + m _2) = \dfrac{-9}{4}$

$\Rightarrow m _1 + m _2 = \dfrac{1-a}{4}$

$\Rightarrow a(1-a) = -20$

By Solving the above equation we get $a = 5, -4$

Explanation

The given equation is $ax^3 - 9yx^2 -y^2x + 4y^3 = 0$, which represents three straight lines.


We can see that all the lines passes from origin $(0,0)$

Let's assume the lines are given by equation $y = mx$

Putting $y = mx$ in the given equation of three straight lines, we get,

$\Rightarrow ax^3- 9(mx)(x^2) - (mx)^2x + 4(mx)^3 = 0$

$\Rightarrow (a - 9m - m^2 + 4m^3) x^3 = 0$

$\Rightarrow 4m^3 -m^2 -9m +a = 0$ ....$(1)$

This equation in $m$ has three roots, $m _1$, $m _2$ and $m _3$, which are three slopes of three lines respectively.

If the two lines are perpendicular then let's assume $m _1.m _2 = -1$,

Product of roots in equation $(1)$ is $m _1.m _2.m _3 = \dfrac{-a}{4}$

Hence $m _3 = \dfrac{a}{4}$

also from equation $(1)$, $m _1 + m _2 + m _3 = \dfrac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow m _1m _2 + m _3(m _1 + m _2) = \dfrac{-9}{4}$

$\Rightarrow m _1 + m _2 = \dfrac{1-a}{4}$

$\Rightarrow a(1-a) = -20$

By Solving the above equation we get $a = 5, -4$

Explanation

Given equation of pair of lines $\displaystyle 3{x}^{2}-8xy-3{y}^{2}=0$,
Let $\displaystyle \frac{y}{x}=m$, we get $\displaystyle 3{m}^{2}+8m-3=0$ Let $\displaystyle {m} _{1}$ and ${m} _{2} $ are slopes of lines,we get $\displaystyle {m} _{1}\times{m} _{2}=-1$

$\displaystyle \therefore $ lines are perpendicular to each other.
