If the bisectors of the pair of lines x 2 - 2 m x y - y 2 = 0 is represented by x 2 - 2 n x y - y 2 = 0 , then

If the bisectors of the pair of lines x2-2mxy-y2=0 is represented by x2-2nxy-y2=0, then
  1. mn+1=0
  2. mn-1=0
  3. m+n=0
  4. m-n=0

Solution

Given equation is x2-2mxy-y2=0  .....1

Compare the given equation with ax2+2hxy+by2=0  ......2

We have, a=1, h=-m and b=-1

Now the equation of the bisector of the angle between the pair of lines in equation 1 is

x2-y2a-b=xyh

x2-y21--1=xy-m

-mx2+my2=2xy

mx2-my2+2xy=0

Now on comparing this equation with x2-2nxy-y2=0

We get, m=1,n=-1

So option 1 is correct.
