Answer» Correct Answer - D Statement-2 is the definition of chord of contact of tangents drawn from a point to a given circle. So, it is true. Let x+9y-12=0 be the chord of contact of tangents drawn from a point p(h, k) to the circle `2x^(2)+2y^(2)-3x+5y-7=0`. Then its equation is `hx+ky-(3)/(4)(x+h)+(5)/(4)(y+k)-(7)/(2)=0` or, `(4h-3)x+(4k+5)y-3h+5k-14=0` This should be same as `x+9y-12=0`. `:. (4h-3)/(1)=(4k+5)/(9)=(3h-5k+14)/(12) rArr h=1, k=1` But, (1,1) lies inside hte circle `2x^(2)+2y^(2)-3x+5y-7=0`. So, `x+9y-12=0` cannot be the chord of contact of tangents drawn from P. Hence, statement-1 is not true. |
