If the lines x 2 + 2xy – 35y 2 – 4x + 44y – 12 = 0 and 5x + λ y – 8 = 0 are concurrent, then the value of λ is-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Point of intersection of lines
x 2 + 2xy – 35y 2 – 4x + 44y – 12 = 0 is the solution of 2x + 2y – 4 = 0 and
2x – 70y + 44 = 0. So point of intersection is 
.
This point also lies on the line 5x + λ y – 8 = 0 So λ = 2
