  1. A \(3 x^2-y^2=0\)
  2. B \(5 x^2-y^2=0\)
  3. C \(x^2-3 y^2=0\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{3} x^2-y^2=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 x^2-y^2=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\begin{aligned} & y=\tan 60^{\circ} x \Rightarrow y=x \\ & y=\tan 120^{\circ} x \Rightarrow y=-x \\ & \text { joint equation }=(x-y)(x+y)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 3 x^2-y^2=0\end{aligned}\)
