    If the equations \[y=mx+c\] and \[x\cos \alpha +y\sin \alpha =p\] represent the same straight line, then

    A)  \[p=c\sqrt{1+{{m}^{2}}}\]

    B)  \[c=p\sqrt{1+{{m}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[cp=\sqrt{1+{{m}^{2}}}\]

    D)  \[{{p}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}+{{m}^{2}}=1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If the given lines represent the same line, then the lengths of the perpendiculars from the origin to the lines are equal, So that \[\frac{c}{\sqrt{1+{{m}^{2}}}}=\frac{p}{\sqrt{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }}\Rightarrow c=p\sqrt{1+{{m}^{2}}}\]
