Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The given equation will represent a circle, if Coeff. of `x^(2)=` Coeff of `y^(2)` and Coeff. of xy = 0.
`rArr lambda^(2)=3lambda-2` and `lambda^(2)-5lambda+4=0`
`rArr lambda^(2)-3 lambda+2=0` and `lambda^(2)-5lambda+4=0`
`rArr (lambda-1)(lambda-2)=0` and `(lambda-1)(lambda-4)=0`
`rArr lambda=1`
