  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  3. C \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\right)\)
  4. D \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(k x^2+8 x y-3 y^2+2 x-4 y-1=0\) is form of a straight line \(\begin{array}{r} \therefore \quad\left|\begin{array}{ccc} k & 4 & 1 \\ 4 & -3 & -2 \\ 1 & -2 & -1 \end{array}\right|=0 \\ k(3-4)-4(-4+2)+1(-8+3)=0 \\ -k+8-5=0 \Rightarrow k=3 \end{array}\) \(\therefore\)…
