    If the axes be turned through an angle\[{{\tan }^{-1}}2\].   What   does   the   equation\[4xy-3{{x}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\]become?

    A) \[{{X}^{2}}-4{{Y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\]             

    B) \[{{X}^{2}}+4{{Y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\]

    C) \[{{X}^{2}}+4{{Y}^{2}}=-{{a}^{2}}\]

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here,\[\theta =2\], So,          \[\cos \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}},\,\,\sin \theta =\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\] For\[x\]and\[y\], we have                 \[x=X\cos \theta -Y\sin \theta =\frac{X-2Y}{\sqrt{5}}\] and        \[y=X\sin \theta +Y\cos \theta =\frac{2X+Y}{\sqrt{5}}\] The equation\[4xy-3{{x}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\]reduces to \[\frac{4(X-2Y)}{\sqrt{5}}\cdot \frac{2(X+Y)}{\sqrt{5}}-3{{\left( \frac{X-2Y}{\sqrt{5}} \right)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4(2{{X}^{2}}-2{{Y}^{2}}-3XY)\]                                      \[-3({{X}^{2}}-4XY+4{{Y}^{2}})=5{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[5{{X}^{2}}-20{{Y}^{2}}=5{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{X}^{2}}-4{{Y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\]
