A straight line L1:x−2y+10=0 meets the circle with equation x2+y2=100 at B in the first quadrant. If another line L2 through B is perpendicular to L1 and cuts y−axis at P(0,t), then the value of t is

Solution
Line L1:x−2y+10=0
Perpendicular line to L1 is 2x+y+λ=0
Now, as ∠B is 90∘, so L2 must pass through (10,0) 20+0+λ=0⇒λ=−20
Now, 2x+y−20=0 ⇒0+t−20=0∴t=20
