Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 11

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Pair of straight lines equation ax2-4xy-2y2=0 Now angle between them is given by tanθ=2h2-aba+b Now putting the value in formula we get, tanθ=24+2aa-2 Now given cosθ=15⇒tanθ=25-11=24 ⇒24+2aa-2=24 ⇒24+2a=24a-2 ⇒44+2a=24a-22…
