If a straight line through the origin bisects the line passing through the given points `(acosalpha,asinalpha)` and `(acosbeta,asinbeta),` then the lines

A

are perpendicular

B

are parallel

C

have an angle between them of `pi//4`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since `OA=OB=a,AOB` is an isosceles triangle.
The line through the origin bisecting AB will be perpendicular to AB.
