Question

Find the equation of the straight line on which the perpendicular from origin makes an angle of 30o with x-axis and which forms a triangle of area  sq. units with the coordinates axes.

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let   ∠NOA = 30o

Let   ON = p > 0, OA = aOB = b

  

  

  

and in ∆ONB

        .     

  

or    b = 2p    

  

                             

                             

         

or      p = 5                            (∵ p > 0) 

the equation of the line AB is
