The acute angle between the lines $\left(x^2+y^2\right) \sin \theta+2 x y=0$ is

The acute angle between the lines $\left(x^2+y^2\right) \sin \theta+2 x y=0$ is
  1. $\theta$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta$
  4. $\frac{\theta}{2}$

Solution

We have $\left(x^2+y^2\right) \sin \theta+2 x y=0$ $\therefore \mathrm{a}=\sin \theta, \mathrm{b}=\sin \theta$ and $\mathrm{h}=1$ and let $\alpha$ be the acute angle between the given lines. Then $\tan \alpha=\frac{\left|2 \sqrt{(1)^2-(\sin \theta)(\sin \theta)}\right|}{\sin \theta+\sin \theta}$ $\begin{aligned} & =\frac{\left|2 \sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \theta}\right|}{2 \sin \theta}=\frac{2 \cos \theta}{2 \sin \theta}=\cot \theta=\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right) \\ & \therefore \alpha=\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta \end{aligned}$
