Q88 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

If one of the lines represented by ax2+2hxy+by2=0 passes through (2,3) and the other passes through (4,5), then a+2 h+b equals

  • A
    0
  • Correct answer
    B
    1
  • C
    2
  • D
    -1

Solution

Given that: ax2+2hxy+by2=0

Passing through (2,3) & (4,5)

Given equation passing through (0,0)

As we know, Equation of line passing through two given points y-y1=y2-y1x2-x1(x-x1)

Equation of the line through (0,0) & (2,3): y=32x

⇒3x-2y=0

Equation of the line through (0,0) & (4,5) : y=54x

⇒5x-4y=0

Here, the pair of straight lines is (3x-2y)(5x-4y)=0

⇒15x2-22xy+8y2=0

⇒a=15, h=-11, b=8

a+2h+b=15-22+8=1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
