From a point \((1,0)\) on the circle \(x^2+y^2-2 x+2 y+1=0\) if chords are drawn to this circle, then locus of the poles of these chords with respect the circle \(x^2+y^2=4\) is

  1. A \(x=4\)
  2. B \(x+2 y=5\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2-x-y=0\)
  4. D \(2 y^2=(x+1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x=4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chord from point \((1,0)\) on the circle \(x^2+y^2-2 x+2 y+1=0\) is polar on the circle \(x^2+y^2=4\) So, locus of poles of the chords is equation of polar at \((1,0)\) on the circle \(x^2+y^2=4\) i.e., \(x=4\).
