Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(11\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given line is polar or \(P (2, \beta)\) w.r.t. given circle \(x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y-3=0\) Chord or contact \(\alpha x+\beta y-2(x+\alpha)-3(y+\beta)-3=0\) \(\Rightarrow(\alpha-2) x+(\beta-3) y-(2 \alpha+3 \beta+3)=0\) \(\because\) But the equation of chord of contact is given as :…
