The correct answer is: abc=2fgh

Given,

ax2+2hxy+by2+2gx+2fy+c=0

put y=0

ax2+2gx+c=0

Now roots will be equal to given axis so, D=0g2=ac ......1

Now for pair of straight line

abc+2fgh-af2-bg2-ch2=0

Since g2=ac

So 2fgh=af2+ch2 .......2

Also 2fgh2=af2+ch22

4f2g2h2=af2+ch22

4f2ach2=af2+ch22

af2+ch22-4f2ach2=0

af2-ch22=0

af2=ch2 .........3

So from equation 1, 2 & 3 we can say that abc=2fgh is incorrect.
