The straight line $x + 2y = 1$ meets the coordinate axes at $A$ and $B$. A circle is drawn through $A, B$ and the origin. Then the sum of perpendicular distances from $A$ and $B$ on the tangent to the circle at the origin is
$\frac {\sqrt 5}{2}$
$2\sqrt 5$
$\frac {\sqrt 5}{4}$
$4\sqrt 5$
If the line $lx + my = 1$ be a tangent to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}$, then the locus of the point $(l, m)$ is
Points $P (-3,2), Q (9,10)$ and $R (\alpha, 4)$ lie on a circle $C$ with $P R$ as its diameter. The tangents to $C$ at the points $Q$ and $R$ intersect at the point $S$. If $S$ lies on the line $2 x - ky =1$, then $k$ is equal to $.........$.
The angle between the tangents to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 169$ at the points $(5, 12) $ and $(12, -5)$ is ............. $^o$
The equations of the tangents drawn from the origin to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2rx - 2hy + {h^2} = 0$ are
The number of tangents that can be drawn from $(0, 0)$ to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x + 6y - 15 = 0$ is
