The joint equation of two lines through the origin, each of which making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with line $x+y=0$ is
  1. $x^{2}+4 x y-y^{2}=0$
  2. $x^{2}-4 x y+y^{2}=0$
  3. $x^{2}+4 x y+y^{2}=0$
  4. $x^{2}-4 x y-y^{2}=0$

Solution

Given equation of line is $x+y=0$, having slope $=-1$ $\ldots(1)$ Required line makes angle of $30^{\circ}$ with given line (1) $\tan 30^{\circ}=\left|\frac{m+1}{1-m}\right| \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\left|\frac{m+1}{1-m}\right|$ On squaring both sides, we get $\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{3}=\frac{(m+1)^{2}}{(1-m)^{2}} \\ (1-m)^{2}=3(m+1)^{2} \Rightarrow 1-2 m+m^{2}=3\left(m^{2}+2 m+1\right) \\ 3 m^{2}+6 m+3-1+2 m-m^{2}=0 \Rightarrow 2 m^{2}+8 m+2=0 \\ m^{2}+4 m+1=0 \end{array}$ $\begin{aligned} \text { Put } \mathrm{m}=& \frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}} \\ \therefore & \frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}+\frac{4 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}+1=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{y}^{2}+4 \mathrm{xy}+\mathrm{x}^{2}=0 \end{aligned}$
