Detailed Solution

using SS1=T2 the combined equation of the tangents drawn from (4, 3) to the circle x2+y22x4y=0 is

x2+y22x4y(16+9812)={4x+3y(x+4)2(y+3)}2

 5x2+y22x4y=(3x+y10)2

 4x24y250x+6xy+100=0          …(i)

In this equation, we have

 Coeff. of x2+ Coeff. of y2=0

Therefore, lines given by (i) are at right angle to each other. 

ALITER The equation of the given circle and its director circle

are

(x1)2+(y2)2=5 and (x1)2+(y2)2=10           …(i)

Clearly, (4, 3) lies on (i). So, required angle is π/2
