The length of the tangent from (0, 0) to...

The length of the tangent from (0, 0) to the circle `2(x^(2)+y^(2))+x-y+5=0`, is

A

`sqrt(5)`

B

`sqrt(5)//2`

C

`sqrt(2)`

D

`sqrt(5//2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The equation of the circle can be written as
`x^(2)+y^(2)+(1)/(2)x-(1)/(2)y+(5)/(2)=0`
Let l be the length of tangent drawn from (0, 0) to the given circle. Then,
`l=sqrt(S_(1))=sqrt(0+0+0-0+(5)/(2))=sqrt((5)/(2))`
