Question

If the equation of the pair of straight lines passing through the point (1, 1), one making an angle θ with the positive direction of x-axis and the other making the same angle with the positive direction of y-axis is x2 – (a + 2)xy + y2 + a(x + y – 1) = 0,  

a ≠ –2, then the value of sin 2θ is 

Solution

Correct option is

2/(a + 2)

Equations of the given lines are

         y – 1 = tan θ (x – 1) and y – 1 = cot θ (x – 1)

so their joint equation is  

       

   

    

                                                                                     (x + y – 1) = 0  

Comparing with the given equation we get  

      tan θ + cot θ = a + 2
