JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Pair of Straight Lines Question Bank Angle between the pair of straight lines, Condition for parallel and perpendicular lines

  • question_answer
    The angle between the lines represented by the equation \[4{{x}^{2}}-24xy+11{{y}^{2}}=0\] are                                              [MP PET 1990]

    A)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{3}{4},{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( -\frac{3}{4} \right)\] 

    B)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{3},{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)\]

    C)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{4}{3},{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( -\frac{4}{3} \right)\] 

    D)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{2},{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[\tan \theta =\pm 2\frac{\sqrt{{{h}^{2}}-ab}}{a+b}=\pm 2\frac{\sqrt{144-44}}{15}=\pm \frac{4}{3}\].            \[\Rightarrow \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \pm \frac{4}{3} \right)\] .
