Problem

Tangents are drawn from the point (17,7)(17, 7) to the circle x2+y2=169x^2 + y^2 = 169 . Statement I The tangents are mutually perpendicular because Statement II The locus of the points from which mutually perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the given circle is x2+y2=338x^2 + y^2 = 338 . [IIT-JEE 2007, 3M] (1) Statement I is True, statement II is True; statement II is a correct explanation for statement I (2) Statement I is True, statement II is True; statement II is not a correct explanation for statement I (3) Statement I is True, statement II is False (4) Statement I is False, statement II is True
