Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{12}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the equation of circle \(\begin{aligned}& x^2+y^2-6 x+4 y+12=0 \\& \Rightarrow(x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=1\end{aligned}\) Since, \(A O=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-2-3)^2}=\sqrt{1+25}=\sqrt{26}\) and, \(A P=\sqrt{26-1}=5\) Now, in…
