Question

Tangents are drawn from the point ( 17 , 7 ) to the circle x 2 + y 2 = 169 . Statement I The tangents are mutually perpendicular. Statement II The locus of the points from which mutually perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the given circle is x 2 + y 2 = 338

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Since, the tangents are perpendicular. So, locus of perpendicular tangents to circle x 2 + y 2 = 169 is a director circle having equation x 2 + y 2 = 338.
