The lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of the line 4 x + 3 y = 24 with the circle x - 3 2 + y - 4 2 = 25 are
Options
- Acoincident
- Bperpendicular
- Cequally inclined to x -axis
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. perpendicular
Step-by-step solution
Let the line intersects the circle at points A   &   B Nw, the given line A B is a diameter as it passes through centre 3,4 . O 0,0 is a point on the circle as 9 + 16 = 25 . ∴ ∠ A O B = π 2 as angle in a semi-circle is π 2 ∴ O A is perpendicular to O B .
