The correct answer is: -34

If ax2+2hxy+by2+2gx+2fy+c=0 represents a pair of parallel lines then condition applies

h2=ab & bg2=af2

Compare the given pair of lines with  ax2+2hxy+by2+2gx+2fy+c=0 ,we get

a=9,2h=-24,b=16,α=2g,β=2f,c=6

Put all given values in  bg2=af2 we get

16α24=9β24αβ2=916

αβ=±34.
