The number of points on the line `3x +4y = 5`, which are at a distance of `sec^(2)theta +2 cossec^(2) theta, theta in R`, from the point (1,3) isA. 1B. 2C. 3D. infinite |

Answer» Correct Answer - B The perpendicular distance of (1,3) from the line `3x +4y =5` is 2 units while `sec^(2) theta +2 cosec^(2) theta` `= 3 +(tan theta -sqrt(2) cot theta)^(2) +2sqrt(2)` `ge 3 +2 sqrt(2)`. Evidently, there will be two such points on the line. |
