If a chord of a circle  x2+y2=25 with one

 extremity at   (4,3)  subtends a right angle at the centre of this circle, then the coordinates of the other extremity of this chord can be 

a
(−3,−4)
b
(4,−3)
c
(3,4)
d
(−3,4)

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let P be the point  (4, 3)  and Q (h, k)   be the other extremity of the chord through P. Centre of the circle is the origin 0. Then OP  is perpendicular to OQ⇒kh×34=−1⇒kh=−43which is satisfied by  (h,k)=(−3,4)
