The figure formed by the pairs of lines $6 x^2+13 x y+6 y^2=0$ and $6 x^2+13 x y+6 y^2+10 x+10 y+4=0$, is a
  1. Square
  2. Parallelogram
  3. Rhombus
  4. Rectangle

Solution

(c) Equation of pair of lines, $ \begin{aligned} & 6 x^2+13 x y+6 y^2=0 \\ & 6 x^2+9 x y+4 x y+6 y^2=0 \\ & 3 x(2 x+3 y)+2 y(2 x+3 y)=0 \\ & (3 x+2 y)(2 x+3 y)=0 \\ & \therefore \quad 3 x+2 y=0 \text { and } 2 x+3 y=0 \end{aligned} $ Similarly, for another equation of pairs of lines $ 6 x^2+13 x y+6 y^2+10 x+10 y+4=0 \text { are } 3 x+2 y+2=0 $ $ \text { and } 2 x+3 y+2=0 $
Here, $A B$ is parallel to $C D$ and $B C$ is parallel to $A D$. $\therefore \quad A B C D$ is a parallelogram. But also $A B=B C=C D=A D=\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}$ Hence, $A B C D$ is a rhombus. Hence, ABCD is a rhombus
