If `ax^(2)+2hxy+by^(2)+2gx+2fy+c=0` represents parallel straight lines, thenA. `hf=bg`B. `h^(2)=bc`C. `a^(2)f=b^(2)g`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The given equation represents a pair of parallel straight lines, if `h^(2)=ab and bg^(2)=af^(2)`.
Now,
`bg^(2)=af^(2)`
`rArr" "abf^(2)=b^(2)g^(2)" [Multiplying both side by b]"`
`rArr" "h^(2)f^(2)=b^(2)g^(2)" "[because h^(2)=ab]`
`rArr" "hf=bg`
