Let the tangents drawn from the origin to the circle, \(x^{2}+y^{2}-8 x-4 y+16=0\) touch it at the points \(A\) and \(B .\) The \((A B)^{2}\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{52}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{32}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{56}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{64}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{64}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}=\sqrt{16+4-16}=2\) \(\mathrm{L}=\sqrt{\mathrm{S}_{1}}=4\) \(\mathrm{AB}(\text { Chord of contact })=\frac{2 \mathrm{LR}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{L}^{2}+\mathrm{R}^{2}}}=\frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}\) \((\mathrm{AB})^{2}=\frac{64}{5}\)
