  1. A \(x^{2}+y^{2}=36\)
  2. B \(x^{2}+y^{2}=5\)
  3. C \(x^{2}+y^{2}=25\)
  4. D \(x^{2}+y^{2}=6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x^{2}+y^{2}=36\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On squaring and adding both given equations, we get
\(\begin{aligned}
x^{2}+y^{2} &=36 \cos ^{2} \theta+36 \sin ^{2} \theta \\
&=36\left(\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta\right) \\
x^{2}+y^{2} &=36
\end{aligned}\)
