  2. B sin-1725
  3. C cos-12425
  4. D tan-1724
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) sin-12425

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

x2+y2-2x+4y-11=0 Let the angle between tangents=2θ Now, tanθ=rLT where r is the radius of the circle and LT is the length of tangent from the given point. Here LT=S1=12+32-2+12-11 =3 r=12+22+11=4 i.e. tanθ=43 ⇒tan2θ=2×431-169=83-79=-247…
