Tangents are drawn from the point

(17,7)

to the circle

x^2+y^2=169

Statement I The tangents are mutually perpendicular. because

Statement II The locus of the points from which mutually perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the given circle is

x^2+y^2=338

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement I is True, statement II is True; statement II is a
correct explanation for statement I

Option A (Statement I is True, statement II is True; statement II is a correct explanation for statement I) is correct because the locus of points from which perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the circle is the director circle, and (17,7) lies on it.
