The larger of two angles made with the XX-axis of a straight line drawn through (1,2)(1,2) so that it intersects the line x+y=4x + y = 4 at a point distant 6/3\sqrt{6} / 3 from the point (1,2)(1,2) is

Options

  1. A60°60 °
  2. B75°75 °
  3. C105°105 °
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

B. 75°75 °

Step-by-step solution

Let A=(1,2)A = (1,2) equation of line is

x−1cosθ=y−2sinθ=r=63\dfrac{x - 1}{cos\theta} = \dfrac{y - 2}{sin\theta} = r = \dfrac{6}{3}

∴x=63cosθ+1,y=63sinθ+2∴ x = \dfrac{6}{3}cos\theta + 1, y = \dfrac{6}{3}sin\theta + 2

This point lies on line x+y=4x + y = 4

∴63cosθ+63sinθ=1∴ \dfrac{6}{3}cos\theta + \dfrac{6}{3}sin\theta = 1

⇒sinθ+cosθ=32⇒ sin\theta + cos\theta = \dfrac{3}{2}

⇒sin⁡(π4+θ)=32⇒ \sin \left(\dfrac{\pi}{4} + \theta\right) = \dfrac{3}{2}

⇒π4+θ=60°⇒ \dfrac{\pi}{4} + \theta = 60 ° or 120°120 °

⇒θ=15°⇒ \theta = 15 ° or 75°75 °

∴∴ Larger angle =75°= 75 °
