JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.1 circle and system of circle

Let \(A B\) be a chord of length \(12\) of the circle \((x-2)^{2}+(y+1)^{2}=\frac{169}{4}\) If tangents drawn to the circle at points \(A\) and \(B\) intersect at the point \(P\), then five times the distance of point \(P\) from chord \(AB\) is equal to\(.......\)

  1. A \(71\)
  2. B \(73\)
  3. C \(72\)
  4. D \(74\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(72\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\cos \theta=\frac{6}{\frac{13}{2}}=\frac{12}{13}\) \(\sin \theta=\frac{5}{13}\) \(PM = AM \cot \theta\) \(PM =6\left(\frac{12}{5}\right) \therefore 5( PM )=72\)
