Options
- Atan - 1 361 2
- Btan - 1 361 4
- Ctan - 1 361 2
- Dtan - 1 361 4
Correct answer
B. tan - 1 361 4
Step-by-step solution
Acute angle between pair of straight lines a x 2 + 2 h x y + b y 2 = 0 is given by tan θ = 2 h 2 - a b a + b By comparing the given equation of lines with a x 2 + 2 h x y + b y 2 = 0 we get a = 6 , b = - 10 , h = 11 2 Then, tan θ = 2 121 4 + 60 - 4 = 361 - 4 ⇒ θ = tan - 1 361 4
