Answer 1

We will simplify the given family of lines and convert the given equation in the form of ${{L}_{1}}+\lambda {{L}_{2}}$. We know that the point of intersection of the lines can be given by solving ${{L}_{1}}=0$ and ${{L}_{2}}=0$.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given that, family of curves represented by $\left( \cos \theta +\sin \theta \right)x+\left( \cos \theta -\sin \theta \right)y-3\left( 3\cos \theta +\sin \theta \right)=0$
Using multiplication distributive law i.e. $a\left( b+c \right)=ab+ac$ in the above equation then we will get
$\begin{aligned} & \left( \cos \theta +\sin \theta \right)x+\left( \cos \theta -\sin \theta \right)y-3\left( 3\cos \theta +\sin \theta \right)=0 \\\ & \Rightarrow x\cos \theta +x\sin \theta +y\cos \theta -y\sin \theta -9\cos \theta -3\sin \theta =0 \\\ \end{aligned}$
Rearranging the terms in the above equation so that all the $\cos \theta$ terms at one place and the all the $\sin \theta$ terms are at one place.
$\Rightarrow \left( x\cos \theta +y\cos \theta -9\cos \theta \right)+\left( x\sin \theta -y\sin \theta -3\sin \theta \right)=0$
Now taking $\cos \theta$ common from the first term and $\sin \theta$ from the second term, then we will have
$\left( x+y-9 \right)\cos \theta +\left( x-y-3 \right)\sin \theta =0$
Dividing the above equation with $\cos \theta$ then we will get
$\begin{aligned} & \left( x+y-9 \right)\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\cos \theta }+\left( x-y-3 \right)\dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }=\dfrac{0}{\cos \theta } \\\ & \Rightarrow \left( x+y-9 \right)+\tan \theta \left( x-y-3 \right)=0 \\\ \end{aligned}$
Comparing the above equation with the family of line ${{L}_{1}}+\lambda {{L}_{2}}=0$, then we will have
${{L}_{1}}=x+y-9$
${{L}_{2}}=x-y-3$
We know that the point of intersection of the family of line ${{L}_{1}}+\lambda {{L}_{2}}=0$ can be given by solving ${{L}_{1}}=0$ and ${{L}_{2}}=0$.
$\therefore$ solving $x+y-9=0$ and $x-y-3=0$.
Value of $y$ from $x-y-3=0$ is given by $y=x-3$.
Substituting the value of $y$ from $x-y-3=0$ in the equation $x+y-9=0$, then we will get
$\begin{aligned} & x+y-9=0 \\\ & \Rightarrow x+\left( x-3 \right)-9=0 \\\ & \Rightarrow x+x-3-9=0 \\\ \end{aligned}$
We know that $a+a=2a$ then
$2x-12=0$
Adding $12$ on both sides of the above equation, then we will have
$2x-12+12=0+12$
We know that $a-a=0$, then
$\Rightarrow 2x=12$
Dividing the above equation with $2$ on both sides of the equation, then
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{12}{2} \\\ & \Rightarrow x=6 \\\ \end{aligned}$
Now the value of $y$ is $y=x-3=6-3=3$.
$\therefore$Point of intersection of the family of lines is $\left( x,y \right)=\left( 6,3 \right)$.
Option – A is correct answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: We can solve the equations $x+y-9=0$ and $x-y-3=0$ by adding both of them, then we will get
$\begin{aligned} & x+y-9+\left( x-y-3 \right)=0+0 \\\ & \Rightarrow x+y-9+x-y-3=0 \\\ \end{aligned}$
Using $a+a=2a$, $a-a=0$ at a time in the above equation, then we will have
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 2x-12=0 \\\ & \Rightarrow 2x=12 \\\ & \Rightarrow x=6 \\\ \end{aligned}$
Now the value of $y$ from $x+y-9=0$ can be calculated by substituting the value of $x=6$, then
$\begin{aligned} & x+y-9=0 \\\ & \Rightarrow 6+y-9=0 \\\ & \Rightarrow y-3=0 \\\ & \Rightarrow y=3 \\\ \end{aligned}$
From both the methods we got the same answer.
