    The line\[x+2y=4\]is translated parallel to itself by 3 unit in the sense of increasing x and then rotated by\[{{30}^{o}}\] in the anti-clockwise direction about the point where the shifted line cuts the x-axis. The equation of the line in the new position is

    A) \[y=\tan (\theta -{{30}^{o}})(x-4-3\sqrt{5})\]

    B) \[y=\tan ({{30}^{o}}-\theta )(x-4-3\sqrt{5})\]

    C) \[y=\tan (\theta +{{30}^{o}})(x+4+3\sqrt{5})\]

    D) \[y=\tan (\theta -{{30}^{o}})(x+4+3\sqrt{5})\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The equation of a line parallel to\[x+2y=4\]is\[x+2y=k\]. Since, the distance between these two lines is 3, therefore                 \[\frac{k}{\sqrt{1+4}}-\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+4}}=3\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[k=4+3\sqrt{5}\] This shifted line cuts x-axis at\[(k,\,\,0)\]. After rotation the slope of the line is\[(\theta -{{30}^{o}})\], where\[\tan \theta =\](slope of                 \[(x+2y=4)=-\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \]The equation of the line in the new position is                 \[y-0=\tan (\theta -{{30}^{o}})(x-k)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=\tan (\theta -{{30}^{o}})(x-k)\] where\[k=4+3\sqrt{5}\]
