Detailed Solution

 x2+y22x=0   (x1)2+y2=1  Thus, centre of circle is (1,0) and radius is 1.  Given line xcosθ+ysinθ-2=0  given line will touch the circle,  only if the distance from centre of the circle to the line is equal to the radius.  Thus,cosθ2=1 cosθ=1,3.  Since -1cosθ1 then            cosθ=1θ=2,nI
