    If the equation \[12{{x}^{2}}+7xy-p{{y}^{2}}-18x+qy+6=0\] represents a pair of perpendicular straight lines, then [Kurukshetra CEE 2002]

    A)            \[p=12,q=1\]                        

    B)            \[p=1,q=12\]

    C)            \[p=-1,q=12\]                      

    D)            \[p=1,q=-12\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\because \] The given equation represents a pair of straight lines therefore, \[-72p-\frac{63}{2}q-3{{q}^{2}}+81p-\frac{147}{2}=0\]    .....(i)            Also, since given equation represents perpendicular lines            \ \[12-p=0\Rightarrow p=12\].            \ from (i), \[2{{q}^{2}}+21q-23=0\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,q=1\].
