The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the distances \( p \) and \( q \) from the origin to the given lines and then derive the relationship between these distances and \( k \). ### Step 1: Write the equations of the lines The two lines given are: 1. \( x \csc \theta + y \sec \theta = k \cot 2\theta \) 2. \( x \sin \theta + y \cos \theta = k \sin 2\theta \) ### Step 2: Convert the first line into standard form The first line can be rewritten using the definitions of cosecant and secant: \[ \frac{x}{\sin \theta} + \frac{y}{\cos \theta} = k \cdot \frac{\cos 2\theta}{\sin 2\theta} \] This can be rearranged to: \[ x \cos \theta + y \sin \theta = \frac{k}{2} \cos 2\theta \] ### Step 3: Find the distance \( p \) from the origin to the first line The distance \( p \) from the origin (0,0) to the line \( Ax + By + C = 0 \) is given by: \[ p = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \] For our line: - \( A = \cos \theta \) - \( B = \sin \theta \) - \( C = -\frac{k}{2} \cos 2\theta \) Thus, \[ p = \frac{|0 + 0 - \frac{k}{2} \cos 2\theta|}{\sqrt{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta}} = \frac{\frac{k}{2} |\cos 2\theta|}{1} = \frac{k}{2} |\cos 2\theta| \] ### Step 4: Convert the second line into standard form The second line can be rearranged as: \[ x \sin \theta + y \cos \theta = k \sin 2\theta \] ### Step 5: Find the distance \( q \) from the origin to the second line Using the same formula for distance: - \( A = \sin \theta \) - \( B = \cos \theta \) - \( C = -k \sin 2\theta \) Thus, \[ q = \frac{|0 + 0 - k \sin 2\theta|}{\sqrt{\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta}} = \frac{k |\sin 2\theta|}{1} = k |\sin 2\theta| \] ### Step 6: Relate \( \cos 2\theta \) and \( \sin 2\theta \) to \( p \) and \( q \) From the distances calculated: \[ \cos 2\theta = \frac{2p}{k} \quad \text{and} \quad \sin 2\theta = \frac{q}{k} \] ### Step 7: Use the Pythagorean identity Using the identity \( \cos^2 2\theta + \sin^2 2\theta = 1 \): \[ \left(\frac{2p}{k}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{q}{k}\right)^2 = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{4p^2}{k^2} + \frac{q^2}{k^2} = 1 \] Multiplying through by \( k^2 \) gives: \[ 4p^2 + q^2 = k^2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the relationship is: \[ \boxed{4p^2 + q^2 = k^2} \]
