Circle And System Of Circles Question 205

Question: The co-ordinates of pole of line $ lx+my+n=0 $ with respect to circles $ x^{2}+y^{2}=1 $ , is

[RPET 1987]

Options:

A) $ ( \frac{l}{n},\frac{m}{n} ) $

B) $ ( -\frac{l}{n},-\frac{m}{n} ) $

C) $ ( \frac{l}{n},-\frac{m}{n} ) $

D) $ ( -\frac{l}{n},\frac{m}{n} ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let pole be $ (x_1,y_1) $ then polar will be $ xx_1+yy_1=1 $ comparing with $ lx+my+n=0 $

$ \Rightarrow x_1=-\frac{l}{n},\ y_1=-\frac{m}{n} $ .
