Detailed Solution

The given equation is
λx210xy+12y2+5x16y3=0 ...(1)
Comparing the given equation with
ax2+2hxy+by2+2gx+2fy+c=0 we get a=λ,2h=10h=5,b=12,2g=5g=5/2,2f=16f=8,c=3
Since the given equation represents a pair of lines
abc+2fghaf2bg2ch2=0λ(12)(3)+2(8)52(5)λ(8)212522(3)(5)2=0 36λ+200λ(64)12×254+3×25=0100λ+200=0100λ=200100λ=200λ=2
 Let ' θ 'be the angle between the lines then 
cosθ=a+b(ab)2+4h2=2+12(212)2+4(5)2=14100+100=14102θ=cos1752
Point of intersection of the lines is hfbgabh2,ghafabh2
=5×812×5/22×12(5)2;5/2×52×82×12(5)2=40302425,252+162425=101,25+32-2=10,72
