  1. A particle starting from the origin (0, 0) moves in the (x, y) plane. Its coordinates at a later time are (√3 , 3). The path of the particle makes with the x-axis an angle of
    1. 45°
    2. 60°
    3. 30°
Correct Option: B


Let θ be the angle which the particle makes with x axis. ​

From figure, tan θ =
3
= √3
3

⇒ θ = tan -1 (√3) = 60°
