Two of the lines represented by x36x2y+3xy2+dy3=0 are perpendicular for

a
all real values of d
b
two real values of d
c
three real values of d
d
no real value of d

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let m1,m2,m3 be the slopes of the three lines represented by the given equation such that m1m2=−1We have m1m2m3=−1d so that m3=1dSince y=m3x i.e. x=dy satisfies the given equation, we getd3−6d2+3d+d    =0⇒ dd2−6d+4    =0If d=0 the given equation represents the lines x = 0 and x2−6xy+3y2=0 which are not perpendicular.∴d≠0 and d2−6d+4=0⇒ d=6±36−162=3±5which gives two real values of d.
