     If the - equation \[6{{x}^{2}}+11xy-10{{y}^{2}}+x+31y+c=0\]represent a pair of straight lines, then the value of c is

    A)  \[\frac{125}{367}\]         

    B)  \[-\frac{125}{367}\]

    C)  \[15\]

    D)  \[-15\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given equation is \[6{{x}^{2}}+11xy-10{{y}^{2}}+x+31y+c=0\] Here,  \[a=6,\,b=-10,\,c=c,\] \[g=\frac{1}{2},\,f=\frac{31}{2},h=\frac{11}{2}\] This equation represents a pair of straight lines, if \[\left| \begin{matrix}    a & h & g  \\    h & b & f  \\    g & f & c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\left| \begin{matrix}    6 & 11/2 & 1/2  \\    11/2 & -10 & 31/2  \\    1/2 & 31/2 & c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[6\left( -10c-{{\left( \frac{31}{2} \right)}^{2}} \right)-\frac{11}{2}\left( \frac{11}{2}c-\frac{31}{4} \right)\] \[+\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{31\times 11}{4}+\frac{10}{2} \right)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[-60\,c-\frac{961\times 3}{2}-\frac{121}{4}c+\frac{341}{8}\] \[+\frac{341}{8}+\frac{10}{4}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{-361\,c}{4}=\frac{5415}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[c=\frac{-5415}{4}\times \frac{4}{361}=-15\]
