What is the acute angle between the lines `Ax+By=A+B` and `A( x-y)+B(x+y)=2B` ?A. `45^(@)`B. `tan^(-1) (A/sqrt(A^(2)+B^(2)))`C.D. `60^(@)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Lines are `L_(1) equiv Ax+By=A+B` and
`L_(2) equiv A(x-y)+B(x+y)=2B`
Slope of `L^(1)` is `- A/B`
`m_(1)=-A/B" "[m_(1)" is the side of line "L_(1)]`
For line `L_(2)` :
`Ax-Ay+Bx+By=2B`
`(A+B)x-(A-B)y=2B`.
Slope of line `L_(2)` in `((A+B))/(A-B)`
`m_(2)=((A+B))/((A-B))" "[m_(2)" is the slope of line "L_(2)]`
If angle between line `L_(1)` and `L_(2)` is `theta` then
`tan theta=(m_(1)-m_(2))/(1+m_(1)m_(2))`
`=(-A/B-(A+B)/(A-B))/(1+(-A/B)xx((A+B)/(A-B)))=((-A(A-B)-B(A+B))/(B(A-B)))/((B(A-B)-A(A+B))/(B(A-B)))`
`=(-A^(2)+AB-AB-B^(2))/(AB-B^(2)-A^(2)-AB)=(-B^(2)-A^(2))/(-B^(2)-A^(2))=1`
so, `theta=pi/4`
