This is a true and false Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Sol:

Given  equation  of  the  circle  is  x2+y2=a2and  the  tangent   is  lx+my=1Here  centre  is  (0,0)  and  radius=aIf  (l,m)  lies  on  the  circle∴  (l−0)2+(m−0)2=a⇒                      l2+m2=a       ⇒l2+m2=a2        (which  is  a  circle)So,  the    (l,m)  lies  on  the  circle.Hence,  the  given  statement  is  True.
