If p be the length of the perpendicular from the origin on the straight line `x+2by =2p`.then what is the value of b?A. `1/p`B. `p`C. `1/2`D. `sqrt(3)/2`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Length of perpendicular from the origin on the straight line `x+2by-2p=0` is
`|(0+2bxx0-2p)/sqrt(1^(2)+(2b)^(2))|=p`
or `p=|(-2p)/sqrt(1^(2)+4b^(2))|`
or `p^(2)=(4p^(2))/(1+4b^(2))`
`4/(1+4b^(2))=1`
`implies 1+4b^(2)=4 or 4b^(2)=3`
`implies b^(2)=3/4 implies b = pm sqrt(3)/2 implies b = sqrt(3)/2` matches with the given option.
