A square of side 'a' lies above the x-axis and has one vertex at the origin. The side passing through the origin makes an angle `alpha` (0 < `alpha' < `pi`/4 ) with the positive direction of x-axis. Find the equation of diagonal not passing through the origin ?

A

`y(cos alpha + sin alpha)+x (sin alpha - cos alpha)=a`

B

`y(cos alpha+sin alpha)+x(sin alpha + cos alpha)=a`

C

`y(cos alpha + sin alpha)+x (cos alpha - sin alpha)=a`

D

`y(cos alpha-sin alpha)-x(sin alpha - cos alpha)=a`
