Angle between the line joining the origin to the points of intersection of the curves 
and 
is
A
B
C
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The equation of any curve through the points of intersection of the given curves is
.....(i)
If this equation represents two straight lines through the origin, then this must be homogeneous equation of second degree i.e., coefficient of x in (i) must vanish
∴ ∴ 
Substituting this value of 
in (i), we get the equation of pair of straight lines 
…..(ii)
Hence the lines represented by the equation (ii) are mutually perpendicular.
