If the curve x 2 + 2 y 2 = 2 intersects the line x + y = 1 at two points P and Q , then the angle subtended by the line segment P Q at the origin is
Options
- Aπ 2 - tan - 1 1 3
- Bπ 2 + tan - 1 1 3
- Cπ 2 + tan - 1 1 4
- Dπ 2 - tan - 1 1 4
Correct answer
C. π 2 + tan - 1 1 4
Step-by-step solution
Homogenising x 2 + 2 y 2 - 2 x + y 2 = 0 ⇒ - x 2 - 4 x y = 0 ⇒ x 2 + 4 x y = 0 Lines are x = 0 and y = - x 4 ∴ Angle between lines = π 2 + tan - 1 1 4 option 3
