Two perpendicular tangents to the circle x2+y2=a2{x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2} meet at PP. Then, the locus of PP has the equation
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
x2+y2=2a2{x^2} + {y^2} = 2{a^2}
Option A (x2+y2=2a2{x^2} + {y^2} = 2{a^2}) is correct because the locus of the point of intersection of two perpendicular tangents to a circle is the director circle, which has the equation x2+y2=2a2{x^2} + {y^2} = 2{a^2}.
