MCQ
The distance of the middle point of the line joining the points $(a\sin \theta ,0)$and $(0,a\cos \theta )$from the origin is
  • $\frac{a}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}a(\sin \theta + \cos \theta )$
  • C
    $a(\sin \theta + \cos \theta )$
  • D
    $a$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{a}{2}$
a
(a)Mid-point will be $\left( {\frac{{a\,\sin \theta }}{2},\,\frac{{a\,\cos \theta }}{2}} \right)$ and distance from origin will be $\sqrt {{{\left( {\frac{{a\,\sin \theta }}{2} - 0} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\frac{{a\,\cos \theta }}{2} - 0} \right)}^2}} = \frac{a}{2}$.
