    The length of the perpendicular from the origin to the line \[\frac{x\,\,\sin \alpha }{b}-\frac{y\,\cos \,\alpha }{a}-1=0\] is

    A)  \[\frac{|ab|}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha -{{b}^{2}}\,{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }}\]

    B)  \[\frac{|ab|}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{b}^{2}}\,{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }}\]

    C) \[\frac{|ab|}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}\,si{{n}^{2}}\alpha -{{b}^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }}\]

    D)  \[\frac{|ab|}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}\,si{{n}^{2}}\alpha +{{b}^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The length of perpendicular from the origin to the line \[\frac{x\,\,\sin \,\alpha }{b}-\frac{y\,\cos \,\alpha }{a}-1=0\] is \[d=\frac{|0-0-1|}{\sqrt{\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }{{{b}^{2}}}+\frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }{{{a}^{2}}}}}\] \[=\frac{|ab|}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}\,{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha +{{b}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }}\]
