The value of

\lambda

so that

3 x^2+7 x y+\lambda y^2+5 x+5 y+2=0

represents a pair of straight lines is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Option C (2) is correct because when

\lambda = 2

, the determinant of the matrix formed by the coefficients of the given equation is zero, indicating that the equation represents a pair of straight lines.
