If p and q are the lengths of the perpendiculars from the origin on the lines.

x cosec a - y sec a = k cot 2a and x sin a + y cos a = k sin 2a respectively, then k2 is equal to:

Option 1 -

p2 + 2q2

Option 2 -

4p2 + q2

Option 3 -

p2 + 4q2

Option 4 -

2p2 + q2

    Correct Option - 2


    Detailed Solution:

    Length of perpendicular from origin to xcosec a - y sec a = k cot2 a and x sin a + ycos a = k sin 2a are

    p = k c o t α s i n α c o s α = k 2 . c o s 2 α s i n 2 α s i n 2 α = k 2 c o s 2 α 2 p k = c o s 2 α

    and q = k s i n 2 α q k = s i n 2 α

    on solving these two we get 4p2 + q2 = k2
