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

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{3} x^2-4 x y+\sqrt{3} y^2=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & y=\tan 30^{\circ} x \text { and } y=\tan 60^{\circ} x \\ & \Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} x \text { and } y=\sqrt{3} \cdot x \\ & \Rightarrow x-\sqrt{3} y=0 \text { and } \sqrt{3} x-y=0\end{aligned}\)

Joint equation \((x-\sqrt{3} y)(\sqrt{3} x-y)=0\) \(\Rightarrow \sqrt{3} x^2-4 x y+\sqrt{3} y^2=0\)
