Q77 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (22 Sep Shift 2) · Mathematics

The quadrilateral formed by the pairs of line $x y+x+y+1=0, x y+3 x+3 y+9=0$ is

  • A
    Parallelogram
  • B
    Rhombus
  • C
    Rectangle
  • Correct answer
    D
    Square

Solution

Given pair of lines $$ \begin{array}{rlrl} x y+x+y+1 & =0 \\ x(y+1)+(y+1) & =0 \\ & & (y+1)(x+1) & =0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \quad x & =-1 \text { or } y=-1 \end{array} $$ Figure
and second pair of line $$ \begin{aligned} x y+3 x+3 y+9 & =0 \\ x(y+3)+3(y+3) & =0 \\ (x+3)(y+3) & =0 \\ x=-3 \text { or } y & =-3 \end{aligned} $$ $\therefore$ Quadrilateral so formed by above lines is a square Hence, option (4) is correct.

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