Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) π2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of circle is x2+y2+4x+4y-1=0 Centre-2,-2 OA=OB=r=4+4+1=3 Where r is radius of circle. OC=9+9=32 (by distance formula) ⇒OC2=OA2+CA2(Pythagoras theorem) ⇒CA2=9 Now, sinα=332=12 ⇒cosα=12 ⇒sin2α=2sinαcosα=1…
