Let 
be a straight line passing through the origin and 
be the straight line 
. If the intercepts made by the circle 
on 
and 
are equal, then which of the following equations represent 
A
and 
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Since equation of line passes through origin
Let 
given, intercepts made by 
and 
are equal 
and 
are at the same distance from centre of circle 
Now, centre 
Distance of 
from 
Distance of 
from 
Squaring both sides, we get
is 
and
or
or
