As we learned

condition for pair of straigth lines -

\Delta = 0


 

- wherein

\triangleright = abc+2fgh-af^{2}-bg^{2}-ch^{2}

For conic:

ax^{2}+by^{2}+2hxy+2gx+2fy+c=0

 

 

x2y2- 2xy2- 3y2- 4x2y + 8xy + 12y   = y2(x2-2x-3) - 4y(x2- 2x-3) = 0

 \Rightarrow y(y-4)(x- 3) (x + 1) = 0                 \Rightarrow y = 0, y = 4, x = 3, x = -1

       Hence the equation represents four straight lines which evidently form a square.

                        Hence correct answer is (d).
