6. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 21th September Evening Shift )

If the lines x 2 4 x y + y 2 = 0 make angles α and β with positive direction X-axis, then cot 2 α + cot 2 β =

A. 14

B. 16

C. 18

D. 20

Correct answer option is (A)

We have lines x 2 4 x y + y 2 = 0 and slopes of the lines are tan α and tan β .

tan α + tan β = 4 and tan α tan β = 1

tan α = 1 tan β = cot β .

cot β + tan β = 4 and squaring, we get cot 2 β + tan 2 β + 2 = 16 tan 2 β + cot 2 β = 14

7. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 21th September Morning Shift )

If the two lines given by a x 2 + 2 h x y + b y 2 = 0 make inclinations and β , then tan ( α + β ) =

A. h a + b

B. 2 h a + b

C. h a b

D. 2 h a b

Correct answer option is (D)

Lines given by a x 2 + 2 h x y + b y 2 = 0 make inclinations α and β .

tan α + tan β = 2 h b and tan α tan β = a b

Now tan ( α + β ) = tan α + tan β 1 tan α tan β = ( 2 h b ) 1 ( a b ) = 2 h b × b ( b a )

tan ( α + β ) = 2 h b a = 2 h a b

If the equation 3 x 2 k x y 3 y 2 = 0 represents the bisectors of angles between the lines x 2 3 x y 4 y 2 = 0 , then value of k is

A. -6

B. -10

C. 6

D. 10

Correct answer option is (B)

We have x 2 3 x y 4 y 2 = 0 and comparing it with standard equation, we write A = 1 , H = 3 2 ,   B = 4 .

Equation of bisector of angle of this line is

x 2 y 2 A B = x y H x 2 y 2 1 + 4 = x y ( 3 2 ) 3 x 2 + 3 y 2 = 10 x y 3 x 2 + 10 x y 3 y 2 = 0  Comparing with given equation, we get  k = 10

Comparing with given equation, we get k = 10

The joint equation of pair of lines through the origin and making an equilateral triangle with the line y = 3 is

A. x 2 + 3 y 2 = 0

B. 3 x 2 y 2 = 0

C. x 2 3 y 2 = 0

D. 3 x 2 + y 2 = 0

Correct answer option is (B)

Let OAB be the required triangle. Since OAB is an equilateral triangle.

Slope of line OA = tan 60 = 3 and Slope of line OB = tan 120 = 3

Equation of OA is y = 3 x i.e. 3 x y = 0 and equation of OB is y = 3 x i.e. 3 x + y = 0

Hence required joint equation is

( 3 x y ) ( 3 x + y ) = 0  i.e.  3 x 2 y 2 = 0

If the acute angle between the lines given by a x 2 + 2 h x y + b y 2 = 0 is π 4 , then 4 h 2 =

A. ( a + 2 b ) ( a + 3 b )

B. a 2 + 4 a b + b 2

C. a 2 + 6 a b + b 2

D. ( a 2 b ) ( 2 a + b )

Correct answer option is (C)

As per data given, we write

tan π 4 = | 2 h 2 a b a + b | = 1

Squaring both sides, we get

( a + b ) 2 = 4 ( h 2 a b ) 4 h 2 = a 2 + 6 a b + b 2
