Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{7}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given lines \(2 x+11 y-7=0\) \(\begin{gathered} \text{and } x+3 y+5=0 \\ m_1=-\frac{2}{11}, m_2=-\frac{1}{3} \\ \tan \theta=\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1 m_2}\right|=\frac{1}{7} \\ \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{7}\right) \end{gathered}\)
