JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line

Let a be the length of a side of a square OABC with \(O\) being the origin. Its side OA makes an acute angle \(\alpha\) with the positive \(x\)-axis and the equations of its diagonals are \((\sqrt{3}+1) x+(\sqrt{3}-1) y=0\) and \((\sqrt{3}-1) x-(\sqrt{3}+1) y+8 \sqrt{3}=0\). Then \(\mathrm{a}^2\) is equal to

  1. A 48
  2. B 32
  3. C 16
  4. D 24
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 48

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Slope of diagonal OB }=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{1-\sqrt{3}} \\ & \therefore=\tan 105^{\circ} \\ & \therefore \alpha=60^{\circ} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{A}\left(\operatorname{acos} 60^{\circ}, \operatorname{asin} 60^{\circ}\right) \\ & \therefore…
