If the lines L1≡2x+y+3=0,L2≡kx+2y-3=0 and L3≡3x-2y+1=0 are concurrent then the cosine of the acute angle between the lines L2=0 and 2x-5y+7=0 is

  • A
    12
  • B
    15229
  • C
    2529
  • Correct answer
    D
    2029

Solution

Given,

The lines L1≡2x+y+3=0, L2≡kx+2y-3=0 and L3≡3x-2y+1=0 are concurrent,

So by using the condition of concurrent we get,

213k2-33-21=0

⇒22-6-1k+9+3-2k-6=0

⇒k=-5

Now L2=-5x+2y-3=0

So, slope of L2 will be m1=52

And slope of line 2x-5y+7=0 will be m2=25

Now we know that tanθ=m1-m21+m1m2

⇒cosθ=1+m1m2m1-m22+1+m1m22

⇒cosθ=1+152-252+1+12

⇒cosθ=2841100=2029

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