  1. A \(x+\sqrt{3} y=8\)
  2. B \(x-\sqrt{3} y=8\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3} x-y=8\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{3} x+y=8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{3} x+y=8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(\ell(\mathrm{OP})=4\) and \(\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{POX}=30^{\circ}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{P} \equiv\left(4 \cos 30^{\circ}, 4 \sin 30^{\circ}\right) \equiv(2 \sqrt{3}, 2)\)
From figure, we conclude that angle made be line with +ve \(\mathrm{X}\) axis is \(120^{\circ}\).
\(\therefore\) Slope of line \(=\tan \left(120^{\circ}\right)=-\sqrt{3}\)
Hence required equation of line \(\mathrm{L}\) is
\((y-2)=(-\sqrt{3})(x-2 \sqrt{3}) \Rightarrow \sqrt{3} x+y=8\)
