    If the pairs of lines \[{{x}^{2}}+2xy+a{{y}^{2}}=0\] and \[a{{x}^{2}}+2xy+{{y}^{2}}=0\] have exactly one line in common then the joint equation of the other two lines can be-

    A) \[3{{x}^{2}}+8xy-3{{y}^{2}}=0\]

    B) \[3{{x}^{2}}+10xy-3{{y}^{2}}=0\]

    C) \[{{y}^{2}}+2xy-3{{x}^{2}}=0\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}+2xy-3{{x}^{2}}=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[a{{m}^{2}}+2m+1=0\]
    \[{{m}^{2}}+2m+a=0\]
    common root m = 1
    other roots \[=1/a,\,\,a;\,\,a+1=-\,2\Rightarrow a=-\,3\]
    \[{{m}^{2}}-(a+1/a)m+1=0\]\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-(a+1/a)xy+{{y}^{2}}=0\]\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-\left( -3-\frac{1}{3} \right)xy+{{y}^{2}}=0\]\[\Rightarrow 3{{x}^{2}}+10xy+3{{y}^{2}}=0\]
