(d) The point of intersection of the pair of lines f(x,y)≡x2+xy+2y2−3x+2y+4=0 is same as the intersection of curve obtaining after partial differentiating of the curve W.r.t. x and y respectively. ∵∂x∂f=2x+y−3=0…(i)and∂y∂f=x+4y+2=0…(ii) By cross-multiplication method, we get 2+12x=4+3−y=8−11 ⇒ (x,y)=(2,−1)
