If the lines represented by the equation

2 x^2-3 x y+y^2=0

make angles

\alpha

and

\beta

with

x

-axis, then

\cot ^2 \alpha+\cot ^2 \beta=

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

5/4

Option D (

5/4

) is correct because it is calculated by finding the sum of squares of cotangents of the angles using the relationship between slopes and coefficients of the given equation.
