Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
y = x, Gradient (m1) = 1
y = √3x gradient (m2) = √3
\(tan\theta = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1+m_2 m_1}\\
tan\theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{1+\sqrt{3}\times 1}\\
=\frac{1.73 -1 }{1+1.73}=
\frac{0.73}{2.73}=0.268\)
θ = Tan-1 (0.268)
= 15o

There is an explanation video available below.
