The lines p (p^2+1 ) x-y+q=0 and (p^2+1 )^2 x+ (p^2+1 )y+2 q=0 are perpendicular to a line L for
Options
- Aexactly one value of p
- Bexactly two values of p
- Cmore than two values of p
- Dno value of p
Correct answer
A. exactly one value of p
Step-by-step solution
For 1st line m₁=p (p^2+1 ) for 2 nd line m ₂=- ( p ^2+1 ) Since, if these two line are perpendicular to the line L then aligned & m ₁= m ₂ & p (p^2+1 )=- (p^2+1 ) p=-1 aligned
