Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of circle is \[ x^{2}+y^{2}=169 \] Its centre \(=(0,0)\) and radius \(=13\) Now, slope of \(O R=\frac{-5}{12}=m_{1}\left(\because\right.\) slope \(\left.=\frac{y_{2}-y}{x_{2}-x}\right)\) and slope of \(O Q=\frac{12}{5}=m_{2}\)…
