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
    If the acute angles between the pairs of lines \[3{{x}^{2}}-7xy+4{{y}^{2}}=0\] and \[6{{x}^{2}}-5xy+{{y}^{2}}=0\] be \[{{\theta }_{1}}\] and \[{{\theta }_{2}}\] respectively, then

    A)            \[{{\theta }_{1}}={{\theta }_{2}}\]                                  

    B)            \[{{\theta }_{1}}=2{{\theta }_{2}}\]

    C)            \[2{{\theta }_{1}}={{\theta }_{2}}\]                               

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Obviously \[{{\theta }_{1}}={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2\sqrt{\frac{49}{4}-12}}{3+4} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{7} \right)\]            and\[{{\theta }_{2}}={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2\sqrt{\frac{25}{4}-6}}{6+1} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{7} \right)\]. Hence, \[{{\theta }_{1}}={{\theta }_{2}}\].
