Show that the area of the parallelogram formed by the lines `2x-3y+a=0,\ 3x-2y-a=0,\ 2x-3y+3a=0\ a n d\ 3x-2y-2a=0\ is(2a^2)/5s qdotu n i t sdot`

A

`(a^(2))/(5)`

B

`(2a^(2))/(5)`

C

`(3a^(2))/(5)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Let A be the required area. Then, A=`|((3a-a){-2a-(-a)})/(|{:(2,-3),(3,-2):}|)|=(2a^(2))/(5)` sq. units.
