1. Ans. (b), The lines represented by

3x 2 − 8 xy + λ y 2 = 0 are perpendicular if a + b = 0
[Two lines are perpendicular if coefficient of x 2 + coefficient of y 2 = 0 ]
⇒ 3+λ = 0 ⇒ λ = −3
2. Ans. (a), The lines represented by the given equation will be coincident if h 2 − ab = 0
Here, a = 2, b = k , h = 4
2
Substituting the values, we get ( 4 ) − 2k = 0 ⇒ k =8
3. Ans. (c), Let φ be the angle between the lines represented by

Hence tan φ = ⇒ tan φ = = tan θ

∴ φ =θ
Hence the angle between the lines represented by (1) is θ .
4. Ans. (c), The given equation will represent a pair of straight lines if
abc + 2 fgh − af 2 − bg 2 − ch 2 = 0 and h 2 − ab ≥ 0

⇒ −100λ + 200 − 75 + 75 = 0 ⇒ λ −2=0 ⇒ λ = 2
Also, for λ = 2, h 2 − ab = 25 − 2 × 12 = 1 > 0 ∴ λ = 2 is valid.
5. Ans. (c), We have, 12 x 2 − 20 xy + 7 y 2 = 0
⇒ 12 x 2 − 6 xy − 14 xy + 7 y 2 = 0 ⇒ 6x ( 2x − y ) − 7 y ( 2x − y )
⇒ ( 2 x − y )( 6 x − 7 y ) = 0 ⇒ ( 6 x − 7 y )( 2 x − y ) = 0
So, the equation of three sides of the triangle are 2 x − y = 0, 6 x − 7 y = 0, 2 x − 3 y + 4 = 0 .
Solving the above three equations pairwise, we get
the coordinates of vertices of the triangle as ( 0, 0 ) , ( 7, 6 ) and (1, 2 ) .

One of the bisectors is x + 2 y = 0 which is parallel to the line x + 2 y = 7 .
Hence, the line x + 2 y = 7 is equally inclined to the given lines.

After rotation, the separate equations are y = tan 90° x and y = tan 60° x or, x = 0 and y = 3 x .

Their point of intersection is ( x, y ) ≡ (1, − 1) . Here, α = 1, β = 1 .
Shifting the origin to (1, − 1) , by replacing x = X + 1 and y = Y − 1 in (1), the required equation is

12 ( X + 1) + 7 ( X + 1)(Y − 1) − 12 ( Y − 1) − 17 ( X + 1) − 31(Y − 1) − 7 = 0

83. Ans. (a), Let the origin be shifted to ( h, k ) then x = X + h and y = Y + k .

Substituting in the given equation, we get, (Y + k ) − 6 (Y + k ) − 4 ( X + h ) + 13 = 0
⇒ Y 2 − 4 X + ( 2k − 6 ) Y + ( k 2 − 6k + 13 − 4h ) = 0
But the required form is y 2 + Ax = 0, which has no term of Y and the constant term is zero.
Therefore, we get, 2k − 6 = 0 and k 2 − 6k + 13 − 4h = 0 ⇒ k = 3 and h = 1 .
84. Ans. (a), The pair of straight lines 2 x 2 + 3 xy − 2 y 2 − 9 x + 7 y − 5 = 0 are perpendicular to each other.

Now for point of intersection, differentiate the given equation w.r.t. x and y one by one, taking other
