- C4 +
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Let Then So the condition represents all points lying inside or on the circle with:
- centre
- radius .
-
We need the greatest and least values of .
Note that is the distance of the point from the origin .
-
First find the distance of the centre from the origin:
-
For a circle of radius whose centre is at distance from the origin:
- the maximum distance from the origin to a point on the circle is
- the minimum distance is since .
-
Therefore,
-
Their difference is
-
Checking options:
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Hence the correct option is A.
