        If one of the lines given by\[6{{x}^{2}}-xy+4c{{y}^{2}}=0\] is\[3x+4y=0,\]then c equals:

    A)  1                                            

    B)  \[-1\]

    C)  3                                            

    D)  \[-3\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The pair of lines is \[6{{x}^{2}}-xy+4c{{y}^{2}}=0.\] On comparing with \[a{{x}^{2}}+2hxy+b{{y}^{2}}=0,\]we get \[a=6,2h=-1,b=4c\] \[\therefore \]\[{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}=-\frac{2h}{b}=\frac{1}{4c}\]and\[{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}=\frac{a}{b}=\frac{6}{4c}\] One line of given pair of lines is \[3x+4y=0\] Slope of line\[=-\frac{3}{4}={{m}_{1}}\] (say) \[\therefore \]  \[-\frac{3}{4}+{{m}_{2}}=\frac{1}{4c}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{m}_{2}}=\frac{1}{4c}+\frac{3}{4}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\left( -\frac{3}{4} \right)\left( \frac{1}{4c}+\frac{3}{4} \right)=\frac{6}{4c}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-\frac{3}{4}\left( \frac{1+3c}{4c} \right)=\frac{6}{4c}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-\frac{3}{4}\left( \frac{1+3c}{4c} \right)=\frac{6}{4c}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1+3c=\frac{-6\times 4}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1+3c=-8\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3x=-9\Rightarrow c=-3\] Alternate Solution \[\because \]\[3x+4y=0\] is one of the two lines. Hence \[y=-\frac{3x}{4}\]will   satisfy   the   equation \[6{{x}^{2}}-xy+4c{{y}^{2}}=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[6{{x}^{2}}-x\left( \frac{-3x}{4} \right)+4c{{\left( \frac{-3x}{4} \right)}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[6{{x}^{2}}+\frac{3{{x}^{2}}}{4}+4c\frac{9{{x}^{2}}}{16}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}(24+3+9c)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[9c=-27\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[c=-3\]
