If the tangents at the points P and Q are the circle x2+y2−2x+y=5 meet at the point R (49,2), then the area of the triangle PQR is:
- A.
5/4
- B.
13/4
- C.
5/8
(Correct Answer) - D.
13/8
Explanation
49x+2y−(x+49)+21(y+2)−5=0
⇒x+2y=5
Area=21×45×5=85
Eqn. of chord of contact
x1x+y1y+g(x+x1)+f(y+y1)+c=0
PQ=2r2−p=5
