Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{4}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, the angle between the two tangents from \((\alpha, \beta)\) to the circle \(x^2+y^2=r^2\) is \[ 2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{r}{\sqrt{S_1}} \] Given equation of circle is \[ x^2+y^2-5 x+4 y-2=0 \text {. } \] Now, radius,…
