The correct answer is: 2029

Given,

The lines L12x+y+3=0, L2kx+2y-3=0 and L33x-2y+1=0 are concurrent,

So by using the condition of concurrent we get,

213k2-33-21=0

22-6-1k+9+3-2k-6=0

k=-5

Now L2=-5x+2y-3=0

So, slope of L2 will be m1=52

And slope of line 2x-5y+7=0 will be m2=25

Now we know that tanθ=m1-m21+m1m2

cosθ=1+m1m2m1-m22+1+m1m22

cosθ=1+152-252+1+12

cosθ=2841100=2029
