    The pairs of straight lines \[{{x}^{2}}-3xy+2{{y}^{2}}=0\]and\[{{x}^{2}}-3xy+2{{y}^{2}}+x-2=0\]form a

    A)  square but not rhombus

    B)  rhombus

    C)  parallelogram

    D)  rectangle but not a square

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given pair of lines are\[{{x}^{2}}-3xy+2{{y}^{2}}=0\] and   \[{{x}^{2}}-3xy+2{{y}^{2}}+x-2=0\] \[\therefore \]        \[(x-2y)\,(x-y)=0\] and    \[\left( x-2y+2 \right)\left( x-y-1 \right)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,x-2y=0,\text{ }x-y=0\] and \[x-2y+2=0,\text{ }x-y-1=0\] Since, the lines \[x-2y=0,\text{ }x-2y+2=0\]and\[x-y=0,\text{ }x-y-1=0\]are parallel. Also, angle between \[x-2y=0\]and \[x-y=0\]is not\[90{}^\circ \]. \[\therefore \] It is a parallelogram.
