Let the straight line touch a circle with center , and radius r at a point . Let be the point on the circle such that the line segment is a diameter of the circle. Let .
Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II.
List-IList-II
(P) equals(1)(-2, 4)
(Q)r equals(2)
(R) equals(3)(-2, 6)
(S) equals(4)5
(5)

The correct option is
  1. (A)
  2. (B)
  3. (C)✓ Correct
  4. (D)

Answer: (C)

Solution

The line (or ) is tangent to the circle with center and radius .

Distance from center to line:


Given :





So (P)→(4), (Q)→(2).

The foot of perpendicular from to the line is :



So , which is (5). Thus (R)→(5).

Since is a diameter, is diametrically opposite to through center :


So (S)→(3).

Correct matching: (P)→(4), (Q)→(2), (R)→(5), (S)→(3), which is option (C).
