(i) The value of p  is 2.
(ii) The value of
p  depends on the value of θ
(iii) The value of p  is independent of θ.
(iv) The value of
p  is 2. .

 

Choose the correct option from the following:

1 (iii) and (iv)
 
2 (i) and (iii)  
3 (ii) and (iv)
 
4 (ii) and (iii)  

Ans.

(1)

Distance between the points and :

p=(sinθ-cosθ)2+(cosθ+sinθ)2p=2sin2θ+2cos2θ-2sinθcosθ+2sinθcosθp=2sin2θ+cos2θ=2×1=2
