The least distance from origin to a point on the line which lies at a distance of units from is
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Let the point be on the line ,
Now slope of the line is ,
Now given point is at unit distance from point
Now by parametric form we get,
Now distance from origin is given by
Taking positive sign we get,
And taking negative sign we get,
So least distance is
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
