Solution
The correct option is B−2p Centre of the circle having AB as diameter is the foot of perpendicular from (0,0) to xcosα+ysinα=p then x−0cosα=y−0sinα=−(−p)1 x=pcosα and y=psinα Equation of circle having centre (pcosα,psinα) and radius(r)=√a2−(√p2(sin2α+cos2α))2 =√a2−p2 ∴(x−pcosα)2+(y−psinα)2=(√a2−p2)2 x2+y2−a2+p2−x2pcosα−2pysinα+p2=0 (x2+y2−a2)−2p(2cosαx+2sinαy−p)=0 So, k=−2p ∴AB=2r
