detailed solution

Correct option is B

x=acosθ+aθsinθ,y=asinθaθcosθdydx=aθsinθaθcosθ=sinθcosθ

Slope of normal =cosθsinθ

Equation of normal at θ

y[asinθaθcosθ]=cosθsinθ[x(acosθ+aθsinθ)]ysinθasin2θ+aθsinθcosθ=xcosθ+acos2θ+aθsinθcosθxcosθ+ysinθa=0

The distance from origin to the normal

=|a|cos2θ+sin2θ=a
