If one of the lines represented by the equation $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$ is coincident with one of the lines represented by $a'x^2 + 2h'xy + b'y^2 = 0$,then:

  • A
    $(ab' - a'b)^2 = 4(ah' - a'h)(hb' - h'b)$
  • B
    $(ab' + a'b)^2 = 4(ah' - a'h)(hb' - h'b)$
  • C
    $(ab' - a'b)^2 = (ah' - a'h)(hb' - h'b)$
  • D
    None of these
