Given pair of lines `2x^(2) +5xy +2y^(2) +4x +5y +a = 0` and the line `L: bx +y +5 = 0`. ThenA. `a = 2`B. `a =- 2`C. There exists no circle which touches the pair of lines and the line L if `b = 5`.D. There exists no circle which touches the pair of lines and the line L if `b =- 5`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
`2x^(2) +5xy +2y^(2) +4x 5y +a =0` represents the pair of lines if
`|{:(2,5//2,2),(5//2,2,5//2),(2,5//2,a):}| =0`
`rArr a = 2`
So pair of lines is `2x^(2)+5xy +2y^(2) +4x +5y +2 =0`
or `x +2y +1 = 0, 2x +y +2 =0`
These lines are concurrent with `bx +y +5 =0`
If `|{:(1,2,1),(2,1,2),(b,1,5):}| =0`
`rArr b =5`
Which lines are concurrent, no circle can be drawn touching all three lines.
