Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 247

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, x2+y2-8x-10y+5=0 ⇒x2+y2-8x-10y+16+25=16+25-5 ⇒x-42+y-52=62 Centre C≡4,5 Radius=CA=CB=6 units. Now, PA=PB=S1=4+9+16+30+5=8 In ∆CAP, CAPC=tanθ2 ⇒tanθ2=68=34 Now, tanθ=2tanθ21-tan2θ2=641-916 ⇒tanθ=64716=247
