Detailed Solution
Equation of the curve is x2+2y2=2⇒x22+y21=1 Equation of the line is x + y = 1 ; y = 1-x Solving the above two equations x2+21-x2=2x2+2x2+2−4x=23x2−4x=0x3x−4=0Hence the values of x are 0,43Hence, the points are P(0,1) ,Q43,−13The line OP is vertical axis, the slope of OQ is -14hence the angle subtended by OP and OQ at origin is θ= π2+tan-1(-14) θ = π2+tan-114
