Solution
The correct option is Cx−2y+1=0;2x+y+1=0;2x2−3xy−2y2+3x−y−6=0;3xy+2=0;x+3y=0 Let equation of asymptotes are 2x2−3xy−2y2+3x−y+8+λ=0 As it represents two straight lines ∴−4(8+λ)+94−12+92−(8+λ)94=0 ⇒λ=−7 So asymptotes are 2x2−3xy−2y2+3x−y+1=0 ⇒ 2y - x - 1 = 0 & 2x + y + 1 = 0 and the equation of conjugate hyperbola will be 2x2−3xy−2y2+3x−y+8−14=0.
