If $\theta$ is the angle subtended at $P(x_1, y_1)$ by the circle $S \equiv x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$,then

  • A
    $\cot \theta = \frac{\sqrt{S_1}}{\sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c}}$
  • B
    $\cot \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{S_1}}{\sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c}}$
  • C
    $\tan \theta = \frac{2\sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c}}{\sqrt{S_1}}$
  • D
