Correct Answer - B
The given lines are
`ax+-by+-c=0`
`"or " (x)/(+-c//a) +(y)/(+-c//b)=1`
The vertices of rhombus are at A(c/a,0), C(-c/a,0), B(0,c/b), D(0,-c/b). Therefore, the diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD are perpendicular. Hence, it is a rhombus whose are is given by
`(1)/(2) xx AC xx BD = (1)/(2) xx (2c)/(b) xx (2c)/(b) = (2c^(2))/(ab)`
