The tangents drawn from the origin to the circle x2+y2−2px−2qy+q2=0x^2+y^2-2 p x-2 q y+q^2=0 are perpendicular if
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
p2−q2=0p^2-q^2=0
Option C (p2−q2=0p^2-q^2=0) is correct because the tangents from the origin are perpendicular only when the circle touches both x and y axes, implying p=±qp = \pm q.
