A straight line $L$ at a distance of $4$ units from the origin makes positive intercepts on the coordinate axes and the perpendicular from the origin to this line makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the line $x+y=0.$ Then an equation of the line $L$ is: Note: In actual JEE Main paper, two options were correct for this question. Hence, we have changed one option.
