Let RS be the diameter of the circle where, is the point. Let be a variable point (other than ) on the circle and tangents to the circle at meet at the point. The normal to the circle at P intersects a line drawn through parallel to at point . Then, the locus of passes through the point (s):
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Let P be ( cos \theta, sin \theta )\theta \ne 0, \piP: xcos \theta + ysin \theta = 1S: x = 1∴Q\left(1, \dfrac{1 - cos \theta}{sin \theta}\right)y = \dfrac{1 - cos \theta}{sin \theta} ⇒ y = tan \dfrac{\theta}{2}P: y = \dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}x ⇒ y = tan \theta . x ⇒ y = ........(iv)
Point of intersection of equation (iii) and (iv),
Eliminating
( \dfrac{1}{3} , \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} ) & ( \dfrac{1}{3} , - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} ) satisfy the locus.
