The equation 12x^(2)+7xy+ay^(2)+13x-y+3=...

The equation `12x^(2)+7xy+ay^(2)+13x-y+3=0` represents a pair of perpendicular lines. Then, the value of a is

A

`(7)/(2)`

B

`-19`

C

`-12`

D

12

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Comapring the given equation with standard eqution, we get `a=12 and b=a` , for perpendicular lines
coefficient of `x^(2)+` coefficient of `y^(2)=0`
`:. 12+a=0`
`rArr a=-12`
