The straight line x+2y=1 meets the coordinate axes at A and B. A circle is drawn through A, B and the origin. Then the sum of perpendicular distances from A and B on the tangent to the circle at the origin is

A

`2sqrt5`

B

`sqrt5/2`

C

`4sqrt5`

D

`sqrt5/4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A(1,0), `B(0,1/2)` and O(0,0)
AB is diameter of the circle so equation is (x-1)(x-0)+(y-0)`(y-1/2)=0`
`rArr x^2+y^2-x-1/2y=0`
Equation of tangent at O(0,0) is given by T=0 `rArr` 2x+y=0
Sum of `bot` distances from A and B to tangents is `=2/sqrt5+(1/2)/sqrt5=5/(2sqrt5)=sqrt5/2`
