Question

If $$x + \lambda y - 2$$   and $$x - \mu y + 1$$   are factors of the expression $$6{x^2} - xy - {y^2} - 6x + 8y - 12$$       then

A. $$\lambda = \frac{1}{3},\mu = \frac{1}{2}$$  
B. $$\lambda = 2,\mu = 3$$
C. $$\lambda = \frac{1}{3},\mu = - \frac{1}{2}$$
D. None of these
Answer :   $$\lambda = \frac{1}{3},\mu = \frac{1}{2}$$
Solution :
$$6{x^2} - xy - {y^2} - 6x + 8y - 12 = 6\left( {x + \lambda y - 2} \right)\left( {x - \mu y + 1} \right).$$
Equate co-efficients and solve for $$\lambda ,\mu .$$
