(B) The given equation is $2 x^2-10 x y+12 y^2+5 x+\lambda y-3=0$. Comparing this with the general second-degree equation $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$,we get $a=2, h=-5, b=12, g=5/2, f=\lambda/2, c=-3$. For the equation to represent a pair of straight lines,the determinant of the matrix must be zero: $\begin{vmatrix} a & h & g \ h & b & f \ g & f & c \end{vmatrix} = 0$. Substituting the values: $\begin{vmatrix} 2 & -5 & 5/2 \ -5 & 12 & \lambda/2 \ 5/2 & \lambda/2 & -3 \end{vmatrix} = 0$. Expanding the determinant: $2(-36 - \lambda^2/4) + 5(15 - 5\lambda/4) + (5/2)(-5\lambda/2 - 30) = 0$. $-72 - \lambda^2/2 + 75 - 25\lambda/4 - 25\lambda/4 - 75 = 0$. $-\lambda^2/2 - 25\lambda/2 - 72 = 0$. Multiplying by $-2$: $\lambda^2 + 25\lambda + 144 = 0$. Factoring the quadratic: $(\lambda + 9)(\lambda + 16) = 0$. Thus,$\lambda = -9$ or $\lambda = -16$. Given the condition $|\lambda| < 16$,the only valid solution is $\lambda = -9$.

The value of $\lambda$ with $|\lambda| < 16$ such that $2 x^2-10 x y+12 y^2+5 x+\lambda y-3=0$ represents a pair of straight lines,is
