Detailed Solution

Let the parametric equation of drawn line isxcos⁡θ=ysin⁡θ=r⇒ x=rcos⁡θ,y=rsin⁡θ Putting it in ' L1 ', we get rsin⁡θ=rcos⁡θ+10⇒ 1OA=sin⁡θ−cos⁡θ10Similarly, putting the general point of drawn line is the equation of L2, we get 1OB=sin⁡θ−cos⁡θ20 Let P=(h,k) and OP=r⇒rcos⁡θ=h,rsin⁡θ=k , we have 2r=sin⁡θ−cos⁡θ10+sin⁡θ−cos⁡θ20⇒ 40=3rsin⁡θ−3rcos⁡θ⇒ 3y−3x=40
