The portion of the line 4x+5y=204x + 5y = 20 in the first quadrant is trisected by the lines L1{L}_{1} and L2{L}_{2} passing through the origin. The tangent of an angle between the lines L1{L}_{1} and L2{L}_{2} is :The portion of the line 4x + 5y = 20 in the first quadrant is trisected by the lines L _ 1 and L _ 2 passing through

Options

  1. A85\dfrac{8}{5}
  2. B2541\dfrac{25}{41}
  3. C25\dfrac{2}{5}
  4. D3041\dfrac{30}{41}

Correct answer

D. 3041\dfrac{30}{41}

Step-by-step solution

Using section formula

Co-ordinates of A=(1×5+2×01+2,1×0+2×41+2)=(53,83)A = \left(\dfrac{1 \times 5 + 2 \times 0}{1 + 2}, \dfrac{1 \times 0 + 2 \times 4}{1 + 2}\right) = \left(\dfrac{5}{3}, \dfrac{8}{3}\right)
Co-ordinates of B=(2×5+1×01+2,2×0+1×41+2)=(103,43)B = \left(\dfrac{2 \times 5 + 1 \times 0}{1 + 2}, \dfrac{2 \times 0 + 1 \times 4}{1 + 2}\right) = \left(\dfrac{10}{3}, \dfrac{4}{3}\right)
Slope of OA=m1=83−053−0=85OA = {m}_{1} = \dfrac{\dfrac{8}{3} - 0}{\dfrac{5}{3} - 0} = \dfrac{8}{5}
Slope of OB=m2=43−0103−0=25OB = {m}_{2} = \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3} - 0}{\dfrac{10}{3} - 0} = \dfrac{2}{5}

The portion of the line 4x + 5y = 20 in the first quadrant is trisected by the lines L _ 1 and L _ 2 passing through

We know that, tanθ=∣m1−m21+m1m2∣tan\theta = \left|\dfrac{{m}_{1} - {m}_{2}}{1 + {m}_{1}{m}_{2}}\right|

⇒tanθ=651+1625⇒ tan\theta = \dfrac{\dfrac{6}{5}}{1 + \dfrac{16}{25}}

⇒tanθ=3041⇒ tan\theta = \dfrac{30}{41}
