Let \(0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}{2}\) be a fixed angle. If P = (cos θ, sin θ) and
Q = (cos (α – θ), sin (α – θ)) then θ is obtained from P by
  1. clockwise rotation around origin through an angle α.
  2. anticlockwise rotation around origin through an angle α
  3. reflection in the line through origin with slope tan α
  4. reflection in the line through origin with slope
    tan

Answer

(C) reflection in the line through origin with slope tan α
