    The angle between the lines\[\sqrt{3}x-y-2=0\] and\[x-\sqrt{3}y+1=0\]is:

    A)  \[90{}^\circ \]

    B)                                         \[{{60}^{\text{o}}}\]

    C)  \[45{}^\circ \]                  

    D)         \[15{}^\circ \]

    E)  \[30{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Let\[{{m}_{1}}=\]slope of\[\sqrt{3}x-y-2=0\]i.e., \[{{m}_{1}}=\sqrt{3}\] and\[{{m}_{2}}=\]slope of\[x-\sqrt{3}y+1=0\]i.e., \[{{m}_{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\tan \theta =\left| \frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{1+{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}} \right|=\left| \frac{\sqrt{3}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1+1} \right|=\left| \frac{3-1}{2.\sqrt{3}} \right|\]                 \[=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\theta =30{}^\circ \]
