JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Circle and System of Circles Question Bank Chord of contact of tangent, Pole and Polar

  • question_answer
    If polar of a circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\]with respect to \[(x',y')\] is \[Ax+By+C=0\], then its pole will be             [RPET 1995]

    A)            \[\left( \frac{{{a}^{2}}A}{-C},\frac{{{a}^{2}}B}{-C} \right)\]       

    B)            \[\left( \frac{{{a}^{2}}A}{C},\frac{{{a}^{2}}B}{C} \right)\]

    C)            \[\left( \frac{{{a}^{2}}C}{A},\frac{{{a}^{2}}C}{B} \right)\]         

    D)            \[\left( \frac{{{a}^{2}}C}{-A},\frac{{{a}^{2}}C}{-B} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Polar of the circle is \[xx'+yy'={{a}^{2}}\], but it is given by \[Ax+By+C=0\], then \[\frac{x'}{A}=\frac{y'}{B}=\frac{{{a}^{2}}}{-C}\]                    Hence pole is\[\left( \frac{{{a}^{2}}A}{-C},\ \frac{{{a}^{2}}B}{-C} \right)\].
