    If \[3{{x}^{2}}+xy-{{y}^{2}}-3x+6y+k=0\] represents a pair of lines, then k is equal to

    A)  \[0\]                                    

    B)  \[9\]

    C)  \[1\]                                    

    D)  \[-9\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given equation is \[3{{x}^{2}}+xy-{{y}^{2}}-3x+6y+k=0\] Here  \[a=3,b=-1,h=\frac{1}{2},g=-\frac{3}{2},\] \[f=3,c=k\] To represent a pair of lines,                 \[abc+2fgh-a{{f}^{2}}-b{{g}^{2}}-c{{h}^{2}}=0\]                 \[\therefore \]\[3(-1)(k)+2\times 3\times \left( -\frac{3}{2} \right)\times \frac{1}{2}\]                                                 \[-3{{(3)}^{2}}+1{{\left( \frac{-3}{2} \right)}^{2}}-k{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-3k-\frac{9}{2}-27+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{k}{4}=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{-13k}{4}-\frac{117}{4}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[k=-9\]
