Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

If P and Q are the lengths of the perpendiculars from the origin to the lines  x cos θ + y sin θ = k cos 2 θ and x sec θ  y cosec θ = k respectively then

Moderate
Solution

p=|kcos2θ|cos2θ+sin2θ=|kcos2θ|q=|k|sec2θ+coses2θ=|ksinθcosθ|  =|k(1/2)sin2θ|
So p2+4q2=k2cos22θ+sin22θ=k2.
