Detailed Solution

Let the circle be x2+y2=a2 and let Ax1, y1 Bx2, y2 be the given points. Then,

l12=x12+y12a2,l22=x22+y22a2

If the  points Ax1,y1  and B (x2,y2)    with respect to x2+y2=a2  then 

 x1x2+y1y2=a2(i)

now 

AB2=x2x12+y2y12AB2=x12+y12+x22+y222x1x2+y1y2

 AB2=x12+y12+x22+y222a2 [ Using (i) ]

 AB2=x12+y12a2+x22+y22a2=l12+l22
