If $\theta$ is the angle between the lines $x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0$, then the angle between $x^2+2 x y \sec \theta+y^2=0$ is
  1. $\theta$
  2. $2 \theta$
  3. $\frac{\theta}{2}$
  4. $3 \theta$

Solution

Given $\theta$ is the angle between the lines $x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0$ To find Angle between $x^2+2 x y \sec \theta+y^2=0$ Since, we know that angle between the line $a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0$ is $\tan \theta=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{h^2-a b}}{a+b}\right|$ Here, $\quad a=1$ $\tan \theta=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{h^2-b}}{1+b}\right|$ ...(i) For $x^2+2 x y \sec \theta+y^2=0$ $a=1, h=\sec \theta, b=1$ Let $\theta$ be the angle, then $\tan \phi=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{\sec ^2 \theta-1}}{1+1}\right|$ $\tan \phi=\frac{2 \tan \theta}{2}=\tan \theta$ $\Rightarrow \quad \phi=\theta$
