MCQ
Equation $x^3 + 8y^3 + 24xy = 64$ represents 
  • A
    Three straight lines
  • B
    One straight line and one circle
  • One straight line and one point
  • D
    Two straight lines and one point

Answer

Correct option: C.
One straight line and one point
c
$(x)^{3}+(2 y)^{3}+(-4)^{3}=3(x)(2 y)(-4)$

$\Rightarrow \quad x=2 y=-4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=-4, y=-2$

i.e. a point $(-4,-2)$

or $x+2 y-4=0$ i.e. a line
