Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{3} t^2+(1-a) t+a \sqrt{3}=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text {Given } x+y=\frac{\pi}{6} \\ & \Rightarrow \cot (x+y)=\cot \left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\cot x \cot y-1}{\cot x+\cot y}=\sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \cot x+\cot y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(\cot x \cdot \cot y-1)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(a-1)…
