A light ray emits from the origin making an angle30°with the positive -axis. After getting reflected by the linex+y=1, if this ray intersects x-axis at Q, then the abscissa of Q is

Question diagram: A light ray emits from the origin making an angle 30 ° with

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

On plotting the diagram of given data we get,

Let Q(h,0)

OP reflected by x+y=1

So, the image of Q lies on y=x3

 x-h1=y1=-2(h-1)2

x=1, y=1-h

Since it lies on y=x3

 1-h=13

h=1-13=3-13

On rationalising the numerator we get,

h=3-13×3+13+1

h=23+3
