Question

The lengths of the tangents from two points A and B to a circle are l and l’ respectively. If the points are conjugate with respect to the circle, then (AB)2 is equal to

Solution

Correct option is

Equation of the circle be x2 + y2 = a2A(x1y1), B(x2y2­)

Since they are conjugate x1x2 + y1y2 = a2
