Let the equation of pair of lines $y=m_1 x$ and $y=m_2 x$ can be written as $\left(y-m_1 x\right)\left(y-m_2 x\right)=0$. Then, the equation of the pair of the angle bisector of the line $3 y^2-5 x y-2 x^2=0$ is

  • A
    $x^2+5 x y-y^2=0$
  • B
    $x^2-5 x y+y^2=0$
  • C
    $x^2-x y+y^2=0$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $x^2+x y-y^2=0$

Solution

$\because$ Equation of angles of bisector of pair of straight line, $a x^2+2 b x y+b y^2$ is $\frac{x^2-y^2}{a-b}=\frac{x y}{h}$ $\therefore$ For, $3 y^2-5 x y-2 x^2=0$ $a=3, b=-2, h=-5$ So, equation of angle bisector is $\begin{aligned} & \frac{x^2-y^2}{3-(-2)}=\frac{x y}{-5} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{x^2-y^2}{5} & =\frac{x y}{-5} \Rightarrow x^2-y^2+x y=0 \end{aligned}$

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