Locus of mid point of the portion between the axes o xcosα+ysinα=p where p is constant is

a
x2+y2=4/p2
b
x2+y2=4p2
c
1/x2+1/y2=2/p2
d
1/x2+1/y2=4/p2

detailed solution

Correct option is D

If (h,k) is the mid-point, thenh=p/2cos⁡α,k=p/2sin⁡αso (p/2h)2+(p/2k)2=cos2⁡α+sin2⁡α=1⇒ 1/h2+1/k2=4/p2Locus of (  h ,k  ) is 1/x2+1/y2=4/p2
