Correct Answer: $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$
Solution :
Given: $x=a\sin\theta-b\cos\theta, y=a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta$
Now, $x^2+y^2$
= $(a\sin\theta-b\cos\theta)^2+(a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta)^2$
= $a^2\sin^2\theta+b^2\cos^2\theta-2ab\sin\theta \cos\theta+a^2\cos^2\theta+b^2\sin^2\theta+2ab\sin\theta \cos\theta$
= $a^2(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)+b^2(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)$
= $a^2+b^2$
Hence, the correct answer is $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$.
