Let the arc of a circle subtend a right angle at the centre . If the point on the arc , divides the arc such that , and , then is equal to
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Interpret the arc division
Since arc subtends a right angle at the centre , we have
Given the corresponding central angles are in the same ratio. So if and their sum is , then
- Choose coordinates/vectors
Let the radius of the circle be . Take Since , take Point lies on the arc between and , with , so
Now use Substituting, Dividing by ,
Equating components:
- Find and
From (2), Also from (1),
Now use exact values: Thus using rationalization.
And
- Compute the required expression
We need Now So
=2\big((\sqrt3)^2-1^2\big)=2(3-1)=4.$$ Hence $$\alpha+\sqrt2(\sqrt3-1)\beta = -(2+\sqrt3)+4 = 2-\sqrt3.$$ 5. **Match with options** $$2-\sqrt3$$ which is **Option D**.More from Vector Algebra
