Options
- A8
- B7
- C6
- D5
Correct answer
B. 7
Step-by-step solution
Given polar equation of circle is r^2-8 r( 3 + )+15=0 or r^2-8( 3 r +r )+15=0 where r =x and y=r . It can be rewritten in cartesian form aligned & x^2+y^2-8( 3 x+y)+15=0 & x^2+y^2-8 3 x-8 y+15=0 & Now, radius = (4 3 )^2+(4)^2-15 & = 48+16-15 =7 & aligned
