If a liney=mx+c, is a tangent to the circlex-32+y2=1, and it is perpendicular to a lineL1,whereL1is the tangent to the circlex2+y2=1, at the point12,12, then

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Slope of tangent to x2+y2=1 at 12,12
x2+y2=1
2x+2yy'=0
y'=-xy=-1
Given that, y=mx+c, is perpendicular to L1,
So, m=1 y=x+c

Now distance of 3,0 from y=x+c is
c+32=1
c2+6c+9=2
c2+6c+7=0.
