Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3 x^2-8 x y+3 y^2+2 x+2 y-2=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of pair of tangents from point \((1,1)\) on circle \(S=x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y+1\) can be given as, \[ \begin{aligned} & S S_1=T^2 \\ & \Rightarrow\left(x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y+1\right)\left(1^2+1^2+2+2+1\right) \end{aligned} \]…
