Solution
The correct option is B The slope of the line AB is given by m=1−03−2=1
⇒1=tanθ⇒θ=π4 ∴ The line makes on angle of 45∘ with x-axis. Now, AB is rotated through 15∘.So, it makes an angle of 60∘ with x – axis Therefore, the equation of AC is x−2cos60∘=y−0sin60∘ ⇒x−212=y√32 Hence, (b) is the Correct Answer.
