The real value of a for which the value ...

The real value of a for which the value of `m` satisfying the equation `(a^2-1)m^2-(2a-3)m+a=0` given the slope of a line parallel to the y-axis is (a)`3/2` (b) 0 (c) 1 (d) `+-1`

A

`(3)/(2)`

B

0

C

1

D

`+-1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

A line parallel to y-axis has the slope `oo`.
`:. (a^(2)-1)m^(2)-(2a-3)m+a = 0` must have one root as infinity.
`:. a^(2) -1 = 0 ( :'` both roots cannot be `oo`, otherwise `a^(2)-1 = 0, 2a - 3 = 0` are to hold for the same a)
