y cos  – x sin  = p, y sin(30 – ) – x cos (30 – ) = p are inclined at 60.
so line ax + by = 1 …(1) can be acute angle bisector.
i.e. y cos  – x sin  – p = – (y sin(30 – )) – x cos (30 – ) – p) …(2)

Consider vertices as shown, now since sides C(h, k)

so,

replacing (h, k) by (x, y) we get
x(1 – m2) + my = 4(1 + m2)
which clearly proves option (B).

Clearly two sides are x  2y + 1 = 0 and x + y = 0
As orthocentre lies on x  2y + 1= 0 is right angled (let at B)
Third side passes through (1, 1) and is perpendicular to x  2y + 1 = 0

The solution of – x4 + 2x2 + x = mx + 1 is x1, x1 and x2 and x2.
 x4 – 2x2 + (m – 1)x + 1 = (x – x1)2(x – x2)2
by comparing, we get
x1 = 1, x2 = – 1, m = 1  P(1, 2) and Q(–1, 0).
