The equation `ax^2+by^2+cx+cy=0 c !-=0` represents a pair of straight lines if

A

`a+b=0`

B

`a+c=0`

C

`b+c=0`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Te given equation will represent a pair of straight lines, if
`|(A,0,c//2),(0,b,c//2),(c//2,cR2,0)|=0`
`rArr" "-(ac^(2))/(4)-(bc^(2))/(4)=0rArr(c^(2))/(4)(a+b)=0rArra+b" "[becausecne0]`
