The angle between the tangents from the origin to the circle (x − 7)2 + (y + 1)2 = 2 is (1) π/3 (2) π/4 (3) π/2 (4) π/6

Answer»

Correct option (3) π/2

Explanation: 

(x − 7) 2 + (y + 1) 2 = 52 .

The equation of the director circle is (x − 7)2 + (y + 1)2 = 2 × 52

(0, 0) satisfies this equation; origin lies on the director circle. 

Angle between the tangents is 90° or π/2
