  1. $13x+13y=1$

  2. $169x+26y=178$

  3. $169x+y=0$

  4. $none\,of\,these$


Correct Option: A

The equation of the line passing through origin and making an angle $30^{\circ}$ with xaxis is

  1. $ x=\sqrt 3y$

  2. $ y=\sqrt 3x $

  3. $ x=3y$

  4. $ y=3x $


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The angle made by line is $30^{\circ}$


The slope of line is $m=\tan 30=\dfrac 1{\sqrt 3}$


Equation of line is $y=mx+c$

$y=\dfrac 1{\sqrt 3} x+c$

Put $(x,y)=(0,0)\Rightarrow c=0$

$\Rightarrow y=\dfrac 1{\sqrt 3} x$

$\therefore\ x=\sqrt 3 y$

Plane $  2 x+3 y+6 z-15=0  $ passes through $(6,5,k)$ find $k$

  1. $
    -4
    $

  2. $
    4
    $

  3. $
    2
    $

  4. $
    -2
    $


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The plane is $2x+3y+6z-15=0$


The point is $(x,y,z)=(6,5,k)$

$\implies 2(6)+3(5)+6(k)-15=0$

$6k+12=0$

$k=\dfrac{-12}{6}$

$k=-2$
