Question:medium
The perpendicular drawn from the origin to the straight line $\sqrt{3}x + y - 24 = 0$ makes an angle $\alpha$ with the positive direction of x-axis. Then $\alpha$ is equal to:
The perpendicular drawn from the origin to the straight line $\sqrt{3}x + y - 24 = 0$ makes an angle $\alpha$ with the positive direction of x-axis. Then $\alpha$ is equal to:
