    Let \[{{L}_{1}}\] be a straight line passing through the origin and \[{{L}_{2}}\] be the straight line x + y = 1. If the intercepts made by the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-x+3y=0\] on \[{{L}_{1}}\] and \[{{L}_{2}}\]are equal, then which of the following equation can represent\[{{L}_{1}}\]?

    A)  x +7 y = 0          

    B)  x - y = 0

    C)  x - 7 y = 0          

    D)  both [A] and [B]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Centre of the circle is \[\left( \frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2} \right).\] Its distance from the line \[x+y-1=0\]is\[\sqrt{2}\] Let the required line be mx - y = 0 \[\therefore \]\[\left| \frac{\frac{m}{2}+\frac{3}{2}}{\sqrt{{{m}^{2}}+1}} \right|=\sqrt{2}\Rightarrow m=1,-1/7\] \[\therefore \] The lines are \[x-y=0,x+7y=0\]
