    The angle between the pair of straight lines \[{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}-2xy-1=0\]is :

    A) \[{{90}^{o}}\]                                    

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

    C) \[{{75}^{o}}\]                                    

    D) \[{{36}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If the equation of pair of lines is \[a{{x}^{2}}+2hxy+b{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\], then                 \[\theta =\frac{2\sqrt{{{h}^{2}}-ab}}{a+b}\] Given equation of pair of lines is                 \[{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}-2xy-1=0\] Here,     \[a=1,\,\,b=-1,\,\,h=-1\] \[\therefore \]  \[\tan \theta =\frac{2\sqrt{{{(-1)}^{2}}+1}}{1-1}=\infty \] Note: If \[{{h}^{2}}=ab\], then the pair of lines are parallel.
