Suppose required angle is \theta. Then on replacing \mathrm{\mathrm{x}~ by ~\mathrm{x} \cos \theta-\mathrm{y} \sin \theta} and \mathrm{y} be\mathrm{x} \sin \theta+ \mathrm{y} \cos \theta, the coefficient of \mathrm{xy} in the new equation should be zero i.e., in the equation

\mathrm{(x \cos \theta-y \sin \theta)^2+2 \sqrt{3}(x \cos \theta-y \sin \theta)(x \sin \theta+y \cos \theta)-(x \sin \theta+y \cos \theta)^2=2, }

the coefficient of x y should be zero, i.e.,

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{ -2 \sin \theta \cos \theta+2 \sqrt{3}\left(\cos ^2 \theta-\sin ^2 \theta\right)-2 \sin \theta \cos \theta=0 }\\ \Rightarrow \quad &\mathrm{ \sin 2 \theta-\sqrt{3} \cos 2 \theta=0} \end{aligned}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \quad \tan 2 \theta=\sqrt{3} \Rightarrow \quad \theta=\pi / 6,2 \pi / 3 } .
