The two lines represented by `3a x^2+5x y+(a^2-2)y^2=0`are perpendicular to each other fortwo values of `a`(b) afor one value of `a`(d) for no values of `a`A. two values of aB. for one value of aC. for one value of aD. for no value of a

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The pair of lines represented by the given equation will be perpendicular to each other, if
`"Coefficient of "x^(2)+"Coefficient of "y^(2)=0`
`rArr" "3a+a^(2)-2=0rArra=(-3pmsqrt(9+8))/(2)=(-3pmsqrt(17))/(2)`
Thus, there are two values of a for which the lines represented by `2x^(2)-7xy+3y^(2)=0,` is
