Question

On the portion of the straight line x + y = 2 which is intercepted between the axes, a square is constructed, away from the origin, with this portion as one of its side. If p denotes the perpendicular distance of a side of this square from the origin, then the maximum value of p is 

Solution

Correct option is

Clearly p = perpendicular distance from (0, 0) to AD + side of the square (Fig)
