Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D6
Correct answer
D. 6
Step-by-step solution
2 x-y+3=0 and 4 x+k y+3=0 are conjugate with respect to ellipse 5 x^2+6 y^2-15=0 We know that a₁ x+b₁ y+c₁=0 and a₂ x+b₂ y+c₂=0 are conjugate with x^2 a^2 + y^2 b =1 Then, a^2 a₁ a₂+b^2 b₁ b₂=c₁ c₂ Here, a₁=2, b₁=-1, c₁=3 aligned & a₂=4, b₂=k, c₂=3 & a^2= 15 5 , b^2= 15 6 aligned 15 5 (2)(4)- ( 15 6 )(k)=9 k=6
