If two distinct chords drawn from the point on the circle (where ) are bisected by the -axis, then
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Let be the other end of the chord drawn from the point on the circle
Their mid-point is
since, mid-point lies on -axis i.e.
Also, lies on the circle.
From Eqs. and , we get
Which is quadratic in such that, Discriminant
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
