Let the line L pass through the point and make equal angles with the positive coordinate axes. If the distance of L from the point is , then the sum of all possible values of r is :

  1. A

    12

  2. B

    16

  3. C

    6

  4. D

    10

Solution

Equal angles with positive axes ⇒ direction ratios . So .

Let and let be the foot of perpendicular from to . , and .
