If a straight line $L$ passing through the point $(5,-3)$ is inclined at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the line $\sqrt{3} x+y-9=0$ and $\mathrm{L}$ intersects $\mathrm{X}$-axis then the equation of $\mathrm{L}$ is

  • A
    $x-\sqrt{3} y-3-5 \sqrt{3}=0$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\sqrt{3} x-y-3-5 \sqrt{3}=0$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3} x-y+3+5 \sqrt{3}=0$
  • D
    $x-\sqrt{3} y+3+5 \sqrt{3}=0$

Solution

Let $L_1=\sqrt{3} x+y-9=0 \Rightarrow m_1=-\sqrt{3}$ $$ \mathrm{L}_2=\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{by}+\mathrm{c}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}_2=-\mathrm{a} / \mathrm{b} $$ given, angle between $\mathrm{L}_1$ and $\mathrm{L}_2$ is $60^{\circ}$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \tan 60^{\circ}=\left|\frac{\mathrm{m}_1-\mathrm{m}_2}{1+\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{~m}_2}\right| \\ & \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\left|\frac{-\sqrt{3}-\mathrm{m}_2}{1-\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~m}_2}\right| \end{aligned} $$ On solving we get $\mathrm{m}_2=\sqrt{3}$ Hence equation of $l_2$ e passing through $(5,-3)$ is $\sqrt{3} x-y-3-5 \sqrt{3}=0$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
