Detailed Solution
Let the common line be y=mx. Then it must satisfy both the equations. Therefore, we have bm2+2hm+a=0______(1)b'm2+2h' m+a'=0_____(2)Solved (1) and (2), we getm22(ha'−h'a)=mab'−a'b=12(bh'−b'h)Eliminating m we get [ab'−a'b2(2bh'−b'h)]2=ha'−h'abh'−b'hor (ab'−a'b)2=4(ha'−h'a)(bh'−b'h)
