Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of pole w.r.t. point \((-1,1)\) to the circle \(x^2+y^2-2 x+2 y-1=0\) is \(\begin{aligned} & -x+y-(x-1)+(y+1)-1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 2 x-2 y=1 \end{aligned}\) Since, inverse point of \((-1,1)\) is foot of the perpendicular from \((-1,1)\) to the line \(2 x-2 y-1=0\)…
