Equation of pair of straight lines Questions in English

(C) The given equation of the pair of lines is $4x^2 + kxy + y^2 = 0$.
Comparing this with the general form $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$,we get $a = 4$,$2h = k$ (so $h = k/2$),and $b = 1$.
Let the slopes of the two lines be $m_1$ and $m_2$.
We know that $m_1 + m_2 = -\frac{2h}{b} = -k$ and $m_1 m_2 = \frac{a}{b} = 4$.
According to the given condition,$m_1 = 4m_2$.
Substituting this into the sum of slopes: $4m_2 + m_2 = -k \implies 5m_2 = -k \implies m_2 = -k/5$.
Substituting into the product of slopes: $(4m_2)(m_2) = 4 \implies 4m_2^2 = 4 \implies m_2^2 = 1 \implies m_2 = \pm 1$.
Since $m_2 = -k/5$,we have $-k/5 = \pm 1$,which gives $k = \mp 5$.
Considering the magnitude or the standard form of such problems,the value is $k = \pm 5$. Given the options,$5$ is the correct magnitude.

(B) The equation of the pair of lines is $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$.
Dividing by $x^2$,we get $b(y/x)^2 + 2h(y/x) + a = 0$.
Let $m = y/x$,so $bm^2 + 2hm + a = 0$.
The roots are $m_1$ and $m_2$,so $m_1 + m_2 = -2h/b$ and $m_1m_2 = a/b$.
The difference of slopes is $|m_1 - m_2| = \sqrt{(m_1 + m_2)^2 - 4m_1m_2} = \sqrt{(-2h/b)^2 - 4(a/b)} = \sqrt{(4h^2 - 4ab)/b^2} = \frac{2}{b} \sqrt{h^2 - ab}$.
Given $16h^2 = 25ab$,we have $h^2 = \frac{25}{16}ab$.
Substituting this into the difference formula: $|m_1 - m_2| = \frac{2}{|b|} \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}ab - ab} = \frac{2}{|b|} \sqrt{\frac{9}{16}ab} = \frac{2}{|b|} \cdot \frac{3}{4} \sqrt{ab} = \frac{3}{2} \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$.
However,checking the options provided,if we assume the question implies a specific ratio or relationship,let's re-evaluate.
If $16h^2 = 25ab$,then $h^2/ab = 25/16$.
$|m_1 - m_2| = \frac{2}{|b|} \sqrt{h^2 - ab} = \frac{2}{|b|} \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}ab - ab} = \frac{2}{|b|} \sqrt{\frac{9}{16}ab} = \frac{3}{2} \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$.
Given the standard nature of such problems,if $m_1 = 4m_2$ or similar,we test $m_1 = 4m_2$. Then $m_1+m_2 = 5m_2 = -2h/b$ and $m_1m_2 = 4m_2^2 = a/b$.
$m_2^2 = a/4b$,so $m_2 = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{a/b}$.
$5m_2 = \frac{5}{2}\sqrt{a/b} = -2h/b \implies \frac{25}{4}(a/b) = 4h^2/b^2 \implies 25a = 16h^2/b \implies 25ab = 16h^2$.
This matches the given condition. Thus,$m_1 = 4m_2$ is correct.

(C) The second equation is $6x^2 - xy - 5y^2 = 0$. Factoring this,we get $(6x + 5y)(x - y) = 0$. So the lines are $y = -\frac{6}{5}x$ and $y = x$.
If $y = x$ is a common line,it must satisfy $3x^2 - 5x(x) + p(x)^2 = 0$,which gives $3x^2 - 5x^2 + px^2 = 0$,so $px^2 = 2x^2$,implying $p = 2$.
If $y = -\frac{6}{5}x$ is a common line,it must satisfy $3x^2 - 5x(-\frac{6}{5}x) + p(-\frac{6}{5}x)^2 = 0$.
This simplifies to $3x^2 + 6x^2 + p(\frac{36}{25})x^2 = 0$,which gives $9x^2 + \frac{36p}{25}x^2 = 0$.
Dividing by $x^2$,we get $9 + \frac{36p}{25} = 0$,so $\frac{36p}{25} = -9$,which means $p = -9 \times \frac{25}{36} = -\frac{25}{4}$.
Thus,$p = 2$ or $p = -\frac{25}{4}$.

(D) The given equation of the pair of lines is $2x^2 - 5xy + 2y^2 = 0$.
Factorizing the equation: $2x^2 - 4xy - xy + 2y^2 = 0$.
$2x(x - 2y) - y(x - 2y) = 0$.
$(2x - y)(x - 2y) = 0$.
Thus,the separate equations of the lines are $L_1: 2x - y = 0$ and $L_2: x - 2y = 0$.
The perpendicular distance from a point $(x_1, y_1)$ to a line $ax + by + c = 0$ is given by $d = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$.
For point $(2, -1)$:
$P_1 = \frac{|2(2) - (-1)|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{|4 + 1|}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{5}$.
$P_2 = \frac{|(2) - 2(-1)|}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2}} = \frac{|2 + 2|}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$.
Therefore,$P_1 P_2 = \sqrt{5} \times \frac{4}{\sqrt{5}} = 4$.

(C) The normal form of the equation of a line is $x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha = p$,where $p$ is the perpendicular distance from the origin and $\alpha$ is the angle the perpendicular makes with the positive $X$-axis.
For line $L_1$,$\alpha = \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $p = 1$:
$x \cos \frac{\pi}{4} + y \sin \frac{\pi}{4} = 1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}} = 1$
$\Rightarrow x + y - \sqrt{2} = 0$
For line $L_2$,$\alpha = \frac{3 \pi}{4}$ and $p = 1$:
$x \cos \frac{3 \pi}{4} + y \sin \frac{3 \pi}{4} = 1$
$\Rightarrow -\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}} = 1$
$\Rightarrow -x + y - \sqrt{2} = 0$
$\Rightarrow x - y + \sqrt{2} = 0$
The joint equation is the product of the two individual equations:
$(x + y - \sqrt{2})(x - y + \sqrt{2}) = 0$
$x(x - y + \sqrt{2}) + y(x - y + \sqrt{2}) - \sqrt{2}(x - y + \sqrt{2}) = 0$
$x^2 - xy + \sqrt{2}x + xy - y^2 + \sqrt{2}y - \sqrt{2}x + \sqrt{2}y - 2 = 0$
$x^2 - y^2 + 2\sqrt{2}y - 2 = 0$

(B) The slopes of the lines are $m_1 = \tan(60^{\circ}) = \sqrt{3}$ and $m_2 = \tan(30^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \sqrt{3}x$ and $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x$,which can be written as $(\sqrt{3}x - y) = 0$ and $(x - \sqrt{3}y) = 0$.
The combined equation is $(\sqrt{3}x - y)(x - \sqrt{3}y) = 0$.
Expanding this,we get $\sqrt{3}x^2 - 3xy - xy + \sqrt{3}y^2 = 0$.
$\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4xy + \sqrt{3}y^2 = 0$.
$\sqrt{3}(x^2 + y^2) = 4xy$.

(B) The equation of the pair of lines is $ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0$. Dividing by $x^2$,we get $b(\frac{y}{x})^2+2h(\frac{y}{x})+a=0$.
Let $m_1 = \tan \alpha$ and $m_2 = \tan \beta$ be the slopes of the lines.
Then $m_1+m_2 = -\frac{2h}{b}$ and $m_1 m_2 = \frac{a}{b}$.
We know that $\tan(\alpha+\beta) = \frac{\tan \alpha + \tan \beta}{1 - \tan \alpha \tan \beta} = \frac{m_1+m_2}{1-m_1 m_2}$.
Substituting the values,we get $\tan(\alpha+\beta) = \frac{-\frac{2h}{b}}{1-\frac{a}{b}} = \frac{-\frac{2h}{b}}{\frac{b-a}{b}} = \frac{-2h}{b-a} = \frac{2h}{a-b}$.

(B) The general equation of a pair of straight lines passing through the origin is given by $ax^{2} + hxy + by^{2} = 0$.
For these lines to be coincident,the discriminant of the quadratic form must be zero.
The condition for the lines to be coincident is $h^{2} - 4ab = 0$.
Therefore,$h^{2} = 4ab$.

(A) Given equation: $3x^{2}-2\sqrt{3}xy-3y^{2}=0$
We split the middle term: $3x^{2}-3\sqrt{3}xy+\sqrt{3}xy-3y^{2}=0$
Factor by grouping: $3x(x-\sqrt{3}y)+\sqrt{3}y(x-\sqrt{3}y)=0$
$(3x+\sqrt{3}y)(x-\sqrt{3}y)=0$
Therefore,the separate equations are $3x+\sqrt{3}y=0$ and $x-\sqrt{3}y=0$.

(A) The given equation is $4x^{2} + 2hxy - 7y^{2} = 0$.
Comparing this with the general form $ax^{2} + 2hxy + by^{2} = 0$,we have $a = 4$,$2h = 2h$,and $b = -7$.
Let $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ be the slopes of the lines.
The sum of slopes is $m_{1} + m_{2} = -\frac{2h}{b} = -\frac{2h}{-7} = \frac{2h}{7}$.
The product of slopes is $m_{1}m_{2} = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{4}{-7} = -\frac{4}{7}$.
Given that the sum of slopes is equal to the product of slopes,we have $\frac{2h}{7} = -\frac{4}{7}$.
Multiplying both sides by $7$,we get $2h = -4$,which implies $h = -2$.

(A) The equation of the pair of lines is $ax^{2}+2hxy+by^{2}+2gx+2fy=0$.
Since one of the lines is the bisector of the angle between the coordinate axes,its equation is $y=x$ or $y=-x$,which can be written as $x-y=0$ or $x+y=0$.
Let the other line be $lx+my+n=0$.
Case $1$: If the line is $x-y=0$,then $(x-y)(lx+my+n) = lx^{2} + (m-l)xy - my^{2} + nx - ny = 0$.
Comparing this with the given equation $ax^{2}+2hxy+by^{2}+2gx+2fy=0$,we get $a/l = 2h/(m-l) = b/(-m) = 2g/n = 2f/(-n)$.
From $2g/n = 2f/(-n)$,we get $g = -f$.
Also,$b/(-m) = 2f/(-n) \Rightarrow m = bn/(2f)$.
Substituting these into the coefficients,we find the condition $(a+b)^{2} = 4(h^{2}+g^{2})$ or $4(h^{2}+f^{2})$.
Given the options,the correct relation is $(a+b)^{2}=4(h^{2}+g^{2})$.

(A) The given equation is $9x^{2}-12xy+4y^{2}=0$.
Comparing this with the general form $ax^{2}+2hxy+by^{2}=0$,we get $a=9$,$2h=-12$ (so $h=-6$),and $b=4$.
To determine the nature of the lines,we calculate $h^{2}-ab$:
$h^{2}-ab = (-6)^{2} - (9 \times 4) = 36 - 36 = 0$.
Since $h^{2}-ab=0$,the lines represented by the equation are coincident.

(A) The slopes of the two lines are $m_1 = 1+\sqrt{2}$ and $m_2 = \frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}$.
Rationalizing $m_2$: $m_2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}-1} = \sqrt{2}-1$.
The joint equation of lines passing through the origin with slopes $m_1$ and $m_2$ is given by $(y-m_1 x)(y-m_2 x) = 0$,which simplifies to $y^2 - (m_1+m_2)xy + m_1 m_2 x^2 = 0$.
Calculate the sum of slopes: $m_1+m_2 = (1+\sqrt{2}) + (\sqrt{2}-1) = 2\sqrt{2}$.
Calculate the product of slopes: $m_1 m_2 = (1+\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2}-1) = (\sqrt{2})^2 - 1^2 = 2-1 = 1$.
Substituting these values into the equation: $y^2 - (2\sqrt{2})xy + 1x^2 = 0$,which is $x^2 - 2\sqrt{2}xy + y^2 = 0$.

(C) The given equation is $5x^2 + xy - kx - 2y + 2 = 0$. Since this represents a pair of lines and one line is $5x + y - 1 = 0$,we can write the equation as $(5x + y - 1)(ax + by + c) = 0$.
Comparing the coefficients of $y^2$,we see the coefficient is $0$,so the second line must be of the form $ax + c = 0$.
Thus,$(5x + y - 1)(ax + c) = 5ax^2 + axy + (5c - a)x + cy - c = 0$.
Comparing this with $5x^2 + xy - kx - 2y + 2 = 0$:
From the $xy$ term,$a = 1$.
From the constant term,$-c = 2$,so $c = -2$.
From the $y$ term,$c = -2$ (which matches).
From the $x$ term,$-k = 5c - a$.
Substituting the values: $-k = 5(-2) - 1 = -10 - 1 = -11$.
Therefore,$k = 11$.

(A) The given equation is $px^2 - qy^2 = 0$.
Comparing this with the general homogeneous equation of the second degree $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$,we get $a = p$,$h = 0$,and $b = -q$.
The lines represented by the equation are real and distinct if $h^2 - ab > 0$.
Substituting the values,we get $0^2 - (p)(-q) > 0$.
This simplifies to $pq > 0$.

(A) The bisectors of the angles between the co-ordinate axes are $y = x$ and $y = -x$,which can be written as $x - y = 0$ and $x + y = 0$.
Since the required lines are parallel to these bisectors and pass through $(-2, 3)$,their equations are:
$1) (x - y) - (-2 - 3) = 0 \implies x - y + 5 = 0$
$2) (x + y) - (-2 + 3) = 0 \implies x + y - 1 = 0$
The joint equation is $(x - y + 5)(x + y - 1) = 0$.
Expanding this: $x(x + y - 1) - y(x + y - 1) + 5(x + y - 1) = 0$
$x^2 + xy - x - xy - y^2 + y + 5x + 5y - 5 = 0$
$x^2 - y^2 + 4x + 6y - 5 = 0$.

(C) The given line is $3x + y = 0$,which can be written as $y = -3x$. The slope of this line is $m_1 = -3$.
Let the slope of the required lines be $m$. Since the angle between the lines is $45^{\circ}$,we use the formula $\tan \theta = |\frac{m - m_1}{1 + m m_1}|$.
$\tan 45^{\circ} = |\frac{m - (-3)}{1 + m(-3)}| = |\frac{m + 3}{1 - 3m}|$.
$1 = |\frac{m + 3}{1 - 3m}| \Rightarrow 1 - 3m = \pm(m + 3)$.
Case $1$: $1 - 3m = m + 3$ $\Rightarrow 4m = -2$ $\Rightarrow m = -1/2$.
Case $2$: $1 - 3m = -(m + 3)$ $\Rightarrow 1 - 3m = -m - 3$ $\Rightarrow 2m = 4$ $\Rightarrow m = 2$.
The lines pass through the origin,so their equations are $y = -\frac{1}{2}x$ and $y = 2x$.
These can be written as $x + 2y = 0$ and $2x - y = 0$.
The combined equation is $(x + 2y)(2x - y) = 0$.
$2x^2 - xy + 4xy - 2y^2 = 0 \Rightarrow 2x^2 + 3xy - 2y^2 = 0$.

(C) The slope of the line $3x+y-6=0$ is $m_1 = -3$. Let $m$ be the slope of the lines making an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$ with the given line.
Using the formula $\tan \theta = \left| \frac{m - m_1}{1 + m m_1} \right|$,we have:
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \left| \frac{m - (-3)}{1 + m(-3)} \right| = \left| \frac{m+3}{1-3m} \right|$.
Squaring both sides:
$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{(m+3)^2}{(1-3m)^2} \Rightarrow (1-3m)^2 = 3(m+3)^2$.
$1 - 6m + 9m^2 = 3(m^2 + 6m + 9) = 3m^2 + 18m + 27$.
$6m^2 - 24m - 26 = 0 \Rightarrow 3m^2 - 12m - 13 = 0$.
Substituting $m = \frac{y}{x}$ to find the joint equation:
$3(\frac{y}{x})^2 - 12(\frac{y}{x}) - 13 = 0$.
Multiplying by $x^2$:
$3y^2 - 12xy - 13x^2 = 0 \Rightarrow 13x^2 + 12xy - 3y^2 = 0$.

(C) The lines pass through the origin and make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the positive $Y$-axis.
The angle made by these lines with the positive $X$-axis is $90^{\circ} \pm 30^{\circ}$,which gives angles of $60^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$.
The slopes of these lines are $m_1 = \tan(60^{\circ}) = \sqrt{3}$ and $m_2 = \tan(120^{\circ}) = -\sqrt{3}$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \sqrt{3}x$ and $y = -\sqrt{3}x$,which can be written as $y - \sqrt{3}x = 0$ and $y + \sqrt{3}x = 0$.
The joint equation is $(y - \sqrt{3}x)(y + \sqrt{3}x) = 0$.
This simplifies to $y^2 - 3x^2 = 0$,or $3x^2 - y^2 = 0$.

(A) Let the two lines be $OA$ and $OB$ passing through the origin $O(0,0)$.
Since each line makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the $Y$-axis,the angles they make with the positive $X$-axis are $90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}+30^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$.
The slopes of these lines are $m_1 = \tan(60^{\circ}) = \sqrt{3}$ and $m_2 = \tan(120^{\circ}) = -\sqrt{3}$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \sqrt{3}x$ and $y = -\sqrt{3}x$,which can be written as $\sqrt{3}x - y = 0$ and $\sqrt{3}x + y = 0$.
The joint equation of the pair of lines is given by $(\sqrt{3}x - y)(\sqrt{3}x + y) = 0$.
Using the identity $(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2$,we get $(\sqrt{3}x)^2 - y^2 = 0$,which simplifies to $3x^2 - y^2 = 0$.

(B) The joint equation of the pair of lines passing through the point $(x_1, y_1)$ and perpendicular to the lines $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$ is given by $b(x - x_1)^2 - 2h(x - x_1)(y - y_1) + a(y - y_1)^2 = 0$.
Here,$a = 5$,$2h = 2$ (so $h = 1$),$b = -3$,and $(x_1, y_1) = (3, -2)$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$-3(x - 3)^2 - 2(x - 3)(y + 2) + 5(y + 2)^2 = 0$
Expanding the terms:
$-3(x^2 - 6x + 9) - 2(xy + 2x - 3y - 6) + 5(y^2 + 4y + 4) = 0$
$-3x^2 + 18x - 27 - 2xy - 4x + 6y + 12 + 5y^2 + 20y + 20 = 0$
Combining like terms:
$-3x^2 - 2xy + 5y^2 + 14x + 26y + 5 = 0$
Multiplying by $-1$ to standardize:
$3x^2 + 2xy - 5y^2 - 14x - 26y - 5 = 0$.

(A) The lines pass through the origin and form an equilateral triangle with the line $y=5$. Since the triangle is equilateral,the angle each line makes with the $y$-axis is $30^{\circ}$.
Thus,the angles the lines make with the positive $x$-axis are $90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}+30^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$.
The slopes of the lines are $m_1 = \tan 60^{\circ} = \sqrt{3}$ and $m_2 = \tan 120^{\circ} = -\sqrt{3}$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \sqrt{3}x$ and $y = -\sqrt{3}x$.
Rearranging,we get $y - \sqrt{3}x = 0$ and $y + \sqrt{3}x = 0$.
The joint equation is $(y - \sqrt{3}x)(y + \sqrt{3}x) = 0$.
$y^2 - 3x^2 = 0$,which can be written as $3x^2 - y^2 = 0$.

(B) The given equation is $2 x^2+5 x y+3 y^2=0$.
Factorizing the equation: $2 x^2+2 x y+3 x y+3 y^2=0$ $\Rightarrow 2 x(x+y)+3 y(x+y)=0$ $\Rightarrow (2 x+3 y)(x+y)=0$.
The individual lines are $2 x+3 y=0$ and $x+y=0$.
The lines perpendicular to these lines and passing through the origin are $3 x-2 y=0$ and $x-y=0$.
The joint equation is $(3 x-2 y)(x-y)=0$.
Expanding this,we get $3 x^2-3 x y-2 x y+2 y^2=0$,which simplifies to $3 x^2-5 x y+2 y^2=0$.

(B) The given equation is $\frac{x^2}{a} + \frac{2xy}{h} + \frac{y^2}{b} = 0$. Dividing by $x^2$,we get $\frac{1}{b}(\frac{y}{x})^2 + \frac{2}{h}(\frac{y}{x}) + \frac{1}{a} = 0$.
Let the slopes be $m$ and $2m$.
From the sum of roots,$m + 2m = 3m = -\frac{2/h}{1/b} = -\frac{2b}{h}$,so $m = -\frac{2b}{3h}$.
From the product of roots,$m \cdot 2m = 2m^2 = \frac{1/a}{1/b} = \frac{b}{a}$.
Substituting $m$ in the product equation: $2(-\frac{2b}{3h})^2 = \frac{b}{a}$.
$2 \cdot \frac{4b^2}{9h^2} = \frac{b}{a}$.
$\frac{8b^2}{9h^2} = \frac{b}{a}$.
$\frac{ab}{h^2} = \frac{9}{8}$.
Thus,$ab : h^2 = 9:8$.

(B) Let the slope of the line $y=x$ be $m_1 = 1 = \tan 45^\circ$. Let the slopes of the required lines be $m$. The angle between the lines is $\alpha$.
Using the formula $\tan \alpha = |\frac{m-1}{1+m}|$,we have $\frac{m-1}{1+m} = \tan \alpha$ or $\frac{m-1}{1+m} = -\tan \alpha$.
Solving for $m$: $m-1 = (1+m)\tan \alpha$ $\Rightarrow m(1-\tan \alpha) = 1+\tan \alpha$ $\Rightarrow m = \frac{1+\tan \alpha}{1-\tan \alpha} = \tan(45^\circ + \alpha)$.
Similarly,$m = \tan(45^\circ - \alpha)$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \tan(45^\circ + \alpha)x$ and $y = \tan(45^\circ - \alpha)x$.
The combined equation is $(y - x\tan(45^\circ + \alpha))(y - x\tan(45^\circ - \alpha)) = 0$.
$y^2 - xy(\tan(45^\circ + \alpha) + \tan(45^\circ - \alpha)) + x^2 \tan(45^\circ + \alpha)\tan(45^\circ - \alpha) = 0$.
Using $\tan(A+B) + \tan(A-B) = \frac{2\sin 2A}{\cos 2A + \cos 2B}$ and $\tan(45^\circ + \alpha)\tan(45^\circ - \alpha) = 1$,we get:
$y^2 - xy(\frac{2}{\cos 2\alpha}) + x^2 = 0$.
Multiplying by $\cos 2\alpha$,we get $x^2 - 2xy \sec 2\alpha + y^2 = 0$.

(A) The first quadrant is the region between the positive $x$-axis $(0^\circ)$ and the positive $y$-axis $(90^\circ)$.
Lines that trisect the first quadrant make angles of $30^\circ$ and $60^\circ$ with the positive $x$-axis.
The equations of these lines are $y = \tan(30^\circ)x$ and $y = \tan(60^\circ)x$.
$y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x \implies x - \sqrt{3}y = 0$
$y = \sqrt{3}x \implies \sqrt{3}x - y = 0$
The joint equation is $(x - \sqrt{3}y)(\sqrt{3}x - y) = 0$.
Expanding this: $\sqrt{3}x^2 - xy - 3xy + \sqrt{3}y^2 = 0$.
$\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4xy + \sqrt{3}y^2 = 0$.

(C) The slopes of the lines are $m_1 = \tan(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $m_2 = \tan(\frac{5\pi}{6}) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Since the lines pass through the origin,their equations are $y = m_1 x$ and $y = m_2 x$.
Substituting the slopes,we get $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x$ and $y = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x$.
This simplifies to $x - \sqrt{3}y = 0$ and $x + \sqrt{3}y = 0$.
The combined equation is $(x - \sqrt{3}y)(x + \sqrt{3}y) = 0$.
Using the identity $(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2$,we get $x^2 - (\sqrt{3}y)^2 = 0$.
Therefore,the combined equation is $x^2 - 3y^2 = 0$.

(B) Let the two lines passing through the origin be $L_1$ and $L_2$. Since they form an equilateral triangle with the line $y=3$,the angle made by these lines with the $x$-axis must be $60^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$.
The slopes of these lines are $m_1 = \tan(60^{\circ}) = \sqrt{3}$ and $m_2 = \tan(120^{\circ}) = -\sqrt{3}$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \sqrt{3}x$ and $y = -\sqrt{3}x$.
Rearranging these,we get $\sqrt{3}x - y = 0$ and $\sqrt{3}x + y = 0$.
The joint equation is given by $(\sqrt{3}x - y)(\sqrt{3}x + y) = 0$.
Expanding this,we get $(\sqrt{3}x)^2 - y^2 = 0$,which simplifies to $3x^2 - y^2 = 0$.

(D) The equation of the pair of lines is $ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0$.
Let the slopes of the lines be $m_1 = \tan \alpha$ and $m_2 = \tan \beta$.
From the properties of the homogeneous equation of the second degree,we have:
$m_1+m_2 = \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = -\frac{2h}{b}$
$m_1m_2 = \tan \alpha \tan \beta = \frac{a}{b}$
Using the formula for $\tan(\alpha+\beta)$:
$\tan(\alpha+\beta) = \frac{\tan \alpha + \tan \beta}{1 - \tan \alpha \tan \beta}$
Substituting the values:
$\tan(\alpha+\beta) = \frac{-\frac{2h}{b}}{1 - \frac{a}{b}} = \frac{-\frac{2h}{b}}{\frac{b-a}{b}} = \frac{-2h}{b-a} = \frac{2h}{a-b}$

(C) The given equation is $2x^2 - 5xy + 2y^2 = 0$.
Factoring the quadratic expression: $2x^2 - 4xy - xy + 2y^2 = 0 \Rightarrow 2x(x - 2y) - y(x - 2y) = 0$.
Thus,the lines are $2x - y = 0$ and $x - 2y = 0$.
The perpendicular distance from a point $(x_1, y_1)$ to a line $ax + by + c = 0$ is given by $d = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$.
For the point $(2, -1)$ and line $2x - y = 0$,the distance $d_1 = \frac{|2(2) - 1(-1)|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{|4 + 1|}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}$.
For the point $(2, -1)$ and line $x - 2y = 0$,the distance $d_2 = \frac{|1(2) - 2(-1)|}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2}} = \frac{|2 + 2|}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$.
The product of the distances is $d_1 \times d_2 = \frac{5}{\sqrt{5}} \times \frac{4}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$ units.

(A) The given equation of the pair of lines is $x^2-4xy+y^2=0$.
Dividing by $x^2$,we get $1-4(\frac{y}{x})+(\frac{y}{x})^2=0$.
Let $m = \tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}$,then $m^2-4m+1=0$.
The slopes of the lines are $m_1 = \tan \alpha$ and $m_2 = \tan \beta$.
From the quadratic equation,the sum of roots is $\tan \alpha + \tan \beta = 4$ and the product of roots is $\tan \alpha \cdot \tan \beta = 1$.
We need to find $\cot^2 \alpha + \cot^2 \beta = \frac{1}{\tan^2 \alpha} + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \beta} = \frac{\tan^2 \alpha + \tan^2 \beta}{(\tan \alpha \cdot \tan \beta)^2}$.
Using the identity $\tan^2 \alpha + \tan^2 \beta = (\tan \alpha + \tan \beta)^2 - 2 \tan \alpha \tan \beta$,we get:
$\tan^2 \alpha + \tan^2 \beta = (4)^2 - 2(1) = 16 - 2 = 14$.
Therefore,$\cot^2 \alpha + \cot^2 \beta = \frac{14}{1^2} = 14$.

(C) For the pair of lines $ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0$,let the slopes be $m_1$ and $m_2$.
We have $m_1+m_2 = -\frac{2h}{b}$ and $m_1m_2 = \frac{a}{b}$.
Given that one slope is twice the other,let $m_1 = 2m_2$.
Substituting this into the sum of slopes: $2m_2 + m_2 = -\frac{2h}{b}$ $\Rightarrow 3m_2 = -\frac{2h}{b}$ $\Rightarrow m_2 = -\frac{2h}{3b}$.
Substituting into the product of slopes: $m_1m_2 = (2m_2)m_2 = 2m_2^2 = \frac{a}{b}$.
Thus,$2(-\frac{2h}{3b})^2 = \frac{a}{b} \Rightarrow 2(\frac{4h^2}{9b^2}) = \frac{a}{b}$.
$\frac{8h^2}{9b^2} = \frac{a}{b} \Rightarrow \frac{h^2}{ab} = \frac{9}{8}$.
Therefore,$h^2:ab = 9:8$.

(C) The slopes of the two lines are $m_1 = 1+\sqrt{2}$ and $m_2 = \frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}$.
Rationalizing $m_2$: $m_2 = \frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{(\sqrt{2}+1)(\sqrt{2}-1)} = \frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{2-1} = \sqrt{2}-1$.
The equations of the lines passing through the origin are $y = m_1x$ and $y = m_2x$,which are $y = (1+\sqrt{2})x$ and $y = (\sqrt{2}-1)x$.
Rearranging these gives $(1+\sqrt{2})x - y = 0$ and $(\sqrt{2}-1)x - y = 0$.
The joint equation is given by the product: $[(1+\sqrt{2})x - y][(\sqrt{2}-1)x - y] = 0$.
Expanding this: $(1+\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2}-1)x^2 - (1+\sqrt{2})xy - (\sqrt{2}-1)xy + y^2 = 0$.
$(2-1)x^2 - (1+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}-1)xy + y^2 = 0$.
$x^2 - 2\sqrt{2}xy + y^2 = 0$.

(A) The equations of the required lines passing through the origin with slopes $m_1 = \sqrt{3}+1$ and $m_2 = \sqrt{3}-1$ are $y = m_1 x$ and $y = m_2 x$.
Since the auxiliary equation for a pair of lines $y = m_1 x$ and $y = m_2 x$ is $(m - m_1)(m - m_2) = 0$,we substitute the given slopes:
$(m - (\sqrt{3}+1))(m - (\sqrt{3}-1)) = 0$
$m^2 - m(\sqrt{3}-1) - m(\sqrt{3}+1) + (\sqrt{3}+1)(\sqrt{3}-1) = 0$
$m^2 - m(\sqrt{3}-1 + \sqrt{3}+1) + ((\sqrt{3})^2 - 1^2) = 0$
$m^2 - m(2\sqrt{3}) + (3 - 1) = 0$
$m^2 - 2\sqrt{3}m + 2 = 0$

(C) The given line is $x+y=0$,which has a slope $m_{1} = -1$.
Let the slope of the required lines be $m$.
Since the angle between the lines is $30^{\circ}$,we use the formula $\tan \theta = \left| \frac{m - m_{1}}{1 + m m_{1}} \right|$.
Substituting the values: $\tan 30^{\circ} = \left| \frac{m - (-1)}{1 + m(-1)} \right| = \left| \frac{m+1}{1-m} \right|$.
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \left| \frac{m+1}{1-m} \right|$.
Squaring both sides: $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{(m+1)^{2}}{(1-m)^{2}}$.
$(1-m)^{2} = 3(m+1)^{2} \Rightarrow 1 - 2m + m^{2} = 3(m^{2} + 2m + 1)$.
$1 - 2m + m^{2} = 3m^{2} + 6m + 3$.
$2m^{2} + 8m + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow m^{2} + 4m + 1 = 0$.
Substituting $m = \frac{y}{x}$: $\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)^{2} + 4\left( \frac{y}{x} \right) + 1 = 0$.
Multiplying by $x^{2}$: $y^{2} + 4xy + x^{2} = 0$ or $x^{2} + 4xy + y^{2} = 0$.

(C) The given equation of the pair of lines is $x^{2}+kxy+2y^{2}=0$.
Since $x+2y=0$ is one of the lines,we can write $x = -2y$.
Substituting $x = -2y$ into the equation $x^{2}+kxy+2y^{2}=0$:
$(-2y)^{2} + k(-2y)y + 2y^{2} = 0$
$4y^{2} - 2ky^{2} + 2y^{2} = 0$
$6y^{2} - 2ky^{2} = 0$
$2y^{2}(3 - k) = 0$
Since this must hold for all points on the line,we have $3 - k = 0$,which implies $k = 3$.

(C) The given equation of the pair of lines is $k x^{2}+x y-y^{2}=0$.
Dividing by $x^{2}$,we get $k + \frac{y}{x} - (\frac{y}{x})^{2} = 0$.
Let $m = \frac{y}{x}$ be the slope of the lines. Then the auxiliary equation is $-m^{2} + m + k = 0$.
Since one of the lines bisects the angle between the coordinate axes,its slope $m$ must be $\pm 1$.
Case $1$: If $m = 1$,then $-(1)^{2} + 1 + k = 0 \implies -1 + 1 + k = 0 \implies k = 0$.
Case $2$: If $m = -1$,then $-(-1)^{2} + (-1) + k = 0 \implies -1 - 1 + k = 0 \implies k = 2$.
Thus,the values of $k$ are $0$ and $2$.

(B) The lines trisect the $90^{\circ}$ angle in the first quadrant. Thus,the angles made by these lines with the positive $x$-axis are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$.
Line $L_{1}$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis: $y = \tan(30^{\circ})x$ $\Rightarrow y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x$ $\Rightarrow x - \sqrt{3}y = 0$.
Line $L_{2}$ makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis: $y = \tan(60^{\circ})x$ $\Rightarrow y = \sqrt{3}x$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x - y = 0$.
The joint equation of these two lines is $(x - \sqrt{3}y)(\sqrt{3}x - y) = 0$.
Expanding this: $\sqrt{3}x^{2} - xy - 3xy + \sqrt{3}y^{2} = 0$.
$\sqrt{3}(x^{2} + y^{2}) - 4xy = 0$.

(B) Let $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ be the required lines passing through the origin $(0,0)$.
Since the triangle formed by the lines and the line $y=4$ is equilateral,the angle made by each line with the positive $x$-axis can be determined.
The line $y=4$ is horizontal. The lines pass through the origin and make an equilateral triangle with $y=4$,meaning the angle at the origin is $60^{\circ}$.
Thus,the lines make angles of $90^{\circ} - 30^{\circ} = 60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ} + 30^{\circ} = 120^{\circ}$ with the positive $x$-axis.
The slopes of the lines are $m_{1} = \tan(60^{\circ}) = \sqrt{3}$ and $m_{2} = \tan(120^{\circ}) = -\sqrt{3}$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \sqrt{3}x$ and $y = -\sqrt{3}x$.
Rearranging,we get $y - \sqrt{3}x = 0$ and $y + \sqrt{3}x = 0$.
The joint equation is $(y - \sqrt{3}x)(y + \sqrt{3}x) = 0$.
This simplifies to $y^{2} - 3x^{2} = 0$,which is equivalent to $3x^{2} - y^{2} = 0$.

(A) The slopes of the lines passing through the origin are $m_1 = 1+\sqrt{2}$ and $m_2 = \frac{-1}{1+\sqrt{2}}$.
Since $m_2 = \frac{-1}{1+\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}-1} = \frac{-(\sqrt{2}-1)}{2-1} = 1-\sqrt{2}$,the lines are $y = (1+\sqrt{2})x$ and $y = (1-\sqrt{2})x$.
Rearranging,we get $(y - (1+\sqrt{2})x) = 0$ and $(y - (1-\sqrt{2})x) = 0$.
The joint equation is $(y - (1+\sqrt{2})x)(y - (1-\sqrt{2})x) = 0$.
Expanding this,we get $y^2 - (1-\sqrt{2})xy - (1+\sqrt{2})xy + (1+\sqrt{2})(1-\sqrt{2})x^2 = 0$.
$y^2 - (1-\sqrt{2}+1+\sqrt{2})xy + (1-2)x^2 = 0$.
$y^2 - 2xy - x^2 = 0$.
Multiplying by $-1$,we get $x^2 + 2xy - y^2 = 0$.

(C) The equations of the lines passing through the origin with slopes $m_{1}=3$ and $m_{2}=-\frac{1}{3}$ are $y=3x$ and $y=-\frac{1}{3}x$.
These can be written as $(y-3x)=0$ and $(3y+x)=0$.
The combined equation of the pair of lines is given by the product of the individual equations:
$(y-3x)(3y+x)=0$
$3y^{2}+xy-9xy-3x^{2}=0$
$3y^{2}-8xy-3x^{2}=0$.

(C) Let the slopes of the lines be $m_1$ and $m_2$. Given $m_1 : m_2 = 2 : 3$,so let $m_1 = 2k$ and $m_2 = 3k$.
For the equation $y^2 + 2hxy + 6x^2 = 0$,the sum of slopes $m_1 + m_2 = -\frac{2h}{1} = -2h$ and the product of slopes $m_1 m_2 = \frac{6}{1} = 6$.
Substituting the values: $2k + 3k = -2h \implies 5k = -2h \implies k = -\frac{2h}{5}$.
Also,$(2k)(3k) = 6 \implies 6k^2 = 6 \implies k^2 = 1 \implies k = \pm 1$.
Substituting $k = \pm 1$ into $5k = -2h$: $5(\pm 1) = -2h \implies h = \mp \frac{5}{2}$.
Since the options are given as $\pm \frac{5}{2}$,the correct value is $h = \pm \frac{5}{2}$.

(A) Given that $PQR$ is a right-angled isosceles triangle at $Q(2, 1)$. The line $PR$ has the equation $2x + y = 3$,so its slope is $m = -2$.
Since $\triangle PQR$ is isosceles and right-angled at $Q$,the lines $PQ$ and $QR$ make an angle of $45^\circ$ with the line $PR$.
Let the slope of $PQ$ be $m_1$. Then,$\tan 45^\circ = |\frac{m_1 - (-2)}{1 + m_1(-2)}| = |\frac{m_1 + 2}{1 - 2m_1}|$.
$1 = |\frac{m_1 + 2}{1 - 2m_1}| \Rightarrow 1 - 2m_1 = m_1 + 2$ or $1 - 2m_1 = -(m_1 + 2)$.
Case $1$: $3m_1 = -1 \Rightarrow m_1 = -1/3$.
Case $2$: $m_1 = 3$.
Thus,the slopes of $PQ$ and $QR$ are $-1/3$ and $3$.
The equations of the lines passing through $Q(2, 1)$ are:
$y - 1 = -1/3(x - 2)$ $\Rightarrow 3y - 3 = -x + 2$ $\Rightarrow x + 3y - 5 = 0$.
$y - 1 = 3(x - 2)$ $\Rightarrow y - 1 = 3x - 6$ $\Rightarrow 3x - y - 5 = 0$.
The combined equation is $(x + 3y - 5)(3x - y - 5) = 0$.
Expanding this: $3x^2 - xy - 5x + 9xy - 3y^2 - 15y - 15x + 5y + 25 = 0$.
$3x^2 + 8xy - 3y^2 - 20x - 10y + 25 = 0$.

(A) The equation of the pair of lines is $Kx^2 - 4xy + 5y^2 = 0$. Comparing this with $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$,we get $a = K$,$2h = -4 \Rightarrow h = -2$,and $b = 5$.
Let $m_1$ and $m_2$ be the slopes of the lines.
The difference between the slopes is given by $|m_1 - m_2| = \frac{2\sqrt{h^2 - ab}}{|b|}$.
Given $|m_1 - m_2| = 2$,we have:
$2 = \frac{2\sqrt{(-2)^2 - K(5)}}{5}$
$1 = \frac{\sqrt{4 - 5K}}{5}$
$5 = \sqrt{4 - 5K}$
Squaring both sides:
$25 = 4 - 5K$
$5K = 4 - 25$
$5K = -21$
$K = \frac{-21}{5}$

(C) Let the slopes of the two lines be $m$ and $2m$.
From the equation $ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0$,we have:
Sum of slopes: $m_1+m_2 = m+2m = 3m = -\frac{2h}{b} \Rightarrow m = -\frac{2h}{3b}$.
Product of slopes: $m_1 \times m_2 = m \times 2m = 2m^2 = \frac{a}{b}$.
Substituting the value of $m$ into the product equation:
$2(-\frac{2h}{3b})^2 = \frac{a}{b}$
$2(\frac{4h^2}{9b^2}) = \frac{a}{b}$
$\frac{8h^2}{9b^2} = \frac{a}{b}$
$8h^2 = 9ab$.

(D) The equation of the pair of lines is $x^2 - 2xy \tan \theta - y^2 = 0$.
Comparing this with the general form $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$,we get $a = 1$,$2h = -2 \tan \theta$,and $b = -1$.
The sum of the slopes $m_1 + m_2$ is given by the formula $\frac{-2h}{b}$.
Substituting the values,we have $m_1 + m_2 = \frac{-(-2 \tan \theta)}{-1} = -2 \tan \theta$.
Given that the sum of the slopes is $4$,we set $-2 \tan \theta = 4$.
This simplifies to $\tan \theta = -2$.
Therefore,$\theta = \tan^{-1}(-2)$.

(C) The lines pass through the origin and form an equilateral triangle with the line $x=3$.
Since the triangle is equilateral,the angle at the origin $O$ is $60^{\circ}$.
Given the symmetry about the $x$-axis,the lines make angles of $30^{\circ}$ and $-30^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis.
The slopes of the lines are $m_1 = \tan(30^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $m_2 = \tan(-30^{\circ}) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
The equations of the lines are $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x$ and $y = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x$,which can be written as $x - \sqrt{3}y = 0$ and $x + \sqrt{3}y = 0$.
The joint equation is $(x - \sqrt{3}y)(x + \sqrt{3}y) = 0$,which simplifies to $x^2 - 3y^2 = 0$.
