[Karnataka CET 2003]
Options:
A) $ p=a\cos \alpha $
B) $ p=a\tan \alpha $
C) $ p^{2}=a^{2} $
D) $ p\sin \alpha =a $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
According to question length of perpendicular on the line from the centre of circle is equal to the radius of the circle. OM = radius of circle $ | \frac{-p}{\sqrt{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }} |=a $
therefore $ |-p|\ =a\Rightarrow p^{2}=a^{2} $ .
