Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Polar of point \((3,2)\) w.r.t. circle \(x^2+y^2=4 \text { is } T_1=0 \Rightarrow 3 x+2 y=4\) Since, \((3,2)\) and \(P(\alpha, \beta)\) are conjugate point. So, polar of \((3,2)\) passes through \(P(\alpha, \beta) \Rightarrow 3 \alpha+2 \beta=4\) ...(i) Also,…
