Q58.Let the tangents drawn from the origin to the circle, x2 + y2 โˆ’8x โˆ’4y + 16 = 0 touch it at the points A and B . Then (AB)2 is equal to (1) 52 (2) 56 5 5 (3) 64 (4) 32 5 5 y2

What This Question Tests

This question requires finding the coordinates of a point on one line, deriving the equation of a perpendicular line to another, finding the point of intersection, and then determining the locus of the midpoint.

Concepts Tested

Equation of a lineEquation of a perpendicular lineMidpoint formulaLocus

Formulas Used

Slope of perpendicular lines m1m2 = -1

Midpoint formula: ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

Equation of line y - y1 = m(x - x1)
