Q42 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics
A circle passes through the origin and has diameter on the positive -axis. The line gives a chord of a circle . Let be the circle with as a diameter. If the tangent to at the point meets the -axis at and -axis at , then is equal to
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
The centre of the circle will be and radius is
So, the equation of the circle is
Let be the angle made by the line with positive -axis.
i.e.
Now is a circle with as diameter.
So, tangent at on is perpendicular to
Let
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
