The equation to the straight line passin...

The equation to the straight line passing through the point `(acos^3theta,asin^3theta)` and perpendicular to the line `xsectheta+ycos e ctheta=a` is (A) `xcostheta-ysintheta=acos2theta` (B) `xcostheta+ysintheta=acos2theta` (C) `xsintheta+ycostheta=acos2theta` (D) none of these

A

`x "cos " theta-y "sin" theta = a "cos" 2theta`

B

`x "cos " theta+y "sin" theta = a "cos" 2theta`

C

`x "sin" theta+y "cos" theta = a "cos" 2theta`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The line perpendicular to `x "sec" theta + y "cosec" theta = a` is
`x "cosec" theta-y "sec"theta = lambda`
This line passes through the point `(a "cos"^(3) theta, a "sin"^(3) theta)`. Then,
`(a "cos"^(3) theta)"cosec" theta -(a "sin"^(3)theta) "sec" theta=lambda`
`"or " lambda = a(( "cos"^(3) theta)/("sin"theta) - ("sin"^(3) theta)/("cos"theta))`
`= a(( "cos"2 theta)/("cos"theta "sin"theta))`
