The correct answer is: π2

Given,

The slope of one of the lines represented by 5x2+403xy+ky2=0 is 3

Now comparing with ax2+2hxy+by2=0 we get,

m1+m2=-2hb=-403×k & m1m2=ab=5k,

Now taking m1=3 we get,

3+m2=-403×k & 3m2=5k

3+53k=-403×k 

3=-453×k 

k=-5 

Now the angle between the pair of lines is given by tanθ=2h2-aba+b

So, here a+b=5-5=0

θ=90° or π2
