Solution

The correct option is B (83)cosec 2α
The given equation can be written as
(x2+y2)(cos2 θ sin2 α+sin2 θ)=x2 tan2 α2xy tan α sin θ+y2 sin2 θ or (cos2 θ sin2 α+sin2 θtan2 α)x2+2(tan α sin θ)xy+cos2 θ sin2 αy2=0
Since the slope of these lines are given as tanθ1 and tan θ2.
and sum of the slopes =2 tan α sin θcos2 θ sin2 α
tan θ1+tan θ2=2 tan α2×(34)×sin2 α ( θ=π6)=(83)cosec 2α
