Two infinite line charges having linear charge density λ₁ and λ₂ are placed along the x and y axis respectively. The electric field at a point (x₁, y₁) in the first quadrant is inclined at an angle of 60° with the x-axis. Then which of the following relations is correct.

Option 1 - <p>√3λ₂x₁ = λ₁y₁</p>
Option 2 - <p>λ₂x₁ = √3λ₁y₁</p>
Option 3 - <p>λ₂y₁ = √3λ₁x₁<br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]--></p>
Option 4 - <p>√3λ₂y₁ = λ₁x₁</p>
