Solution

The correct option is C x(cosθsinθ)+y(cosθ+sinθ)=py(cosθsinθ)=x(cosθ+sinθ)
Equation of the diagonal with vertex at origin -
y0=m(x0)
m=tan(π4+θ)
y(1tanθ)=x(1+tanθ)y(cosθsinθ)=x(cosθ+sinθ)
Since, diagonals of a square are perpendicular to each other therefore,
m=1tan(π4+θ)
(ypsinθ)=1tan(π4+θ)(xpcosθ)x(cosθsinθ)+y(cosθ+sinθ)=p
Alternet:
perpendicular distance is p2 and angle makes with x axis is (θ+45°)
so the equation will be xcos(θ+45°)+ysin(θ+45°)=p2x(cosθsinθ)+y(cosθ+sinθ)=p
