The locus of the midpoint of the portion of the line \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=p\) intercepted by the coordinate axes, where \(p\) is a constant, is
- A \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}=\frac{3}{p^2}\)
- B \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}=\frac{4}{p^2}\)
- C \(x^2+y^2=2 p^2\)
- D \(\frac{2}{x^2}+\frac{2}{y^2}=\frac{1}{p^2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}=\frac{4}{p^2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=p\) ...(i) Let \(P(h, k)\) be the mid point of above line. When \(x=0\), Eq. (i) becomes \(y \sin \alpha=p \Rightarrow y=\frac{p}{\sin \alpha}\) When \(y=0\), Eq. (i) becomes \(x \cos \alpha=p \Rightarrow x=\frac{p}{\cos \alpha}\)…
