C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Let the equations represented by
be
and 
.
Then the combined equation represented by these lines is given by 
So, it must be similar with the given equation.
On comparing, we get
,
According to the condition, the length of perpendiculars drawn from origin to the lines are same.
So, 
Now on eliminating 
and 
, we get the required condition
