Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the angle \((\theta)\) between the straight lines \(x^2+4 x y+y^2=0\) Then, \(\tan \theta=\frac{2 \sqrt{(2)^2-1}}{1+1} \quad\left\{\because \tan \theta=\frac{2 \sqrt{h^2-a b}}{(a+b)}\right\}\) \(=\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{2}=\sqrt{3} \Rightarrow \theta=60^{\circ}\)
