CM=4+16=52CP=16+20=6\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{CM}=\sqrt{4+16}=5 \sqrt{2} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{CP}=\sqrt{16+20}=6 \end{aligned}
Q92
Let the tangents at the points A(4,11)A(4,-11) and B(8,5)B(8,-5) on the circle x2+y23x+10y15=0x^{2}+y^{2}-3 x+10 y-15=0, intersect at the point CC. Then the radius of the circle, whose centre is CC and the line joining AA and BB is its tangent, is equal to :
A 2133\dfrac{2\sqrt{13}}{3}
B 334\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}
C 13\sqrt{13}
D 2132\sqrt{13}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Equation of AB :

y(5)=5+1184(x8)y - ( - 5) = {{ - 5 + 11} \over {8 - 4}}(x - 8)
y+5=32(x8)\Rightarrow y + 5 = {3 \over 2}(x - 8)
2y+10=3x24\Rightarrow 2y + 10 = 3x - 24
3x2y34=0\Rightarrow 3x - 2y - 34 = 0

.... (1) Also AB is cord of contact. And we know equation of cord of contact to a circle is

T=0T = 0
xh+yk32(x+h)+5(y+k)15=0\Rightarrow xh + yk - {3 \over 2}(x + h) + 5(y + k) - 15 = 0
x(h32)+y(k+5)+(32h+5k15)=0\Rightarrow x\left( {h - {3 \over 2}} \right) + y(k + 5) + \left( { - {3 \over 2}h + 5k - 15} \right) = 0

.... (2) Comparing equation (1) and (2), we get

h323=k+52=32h+5k1534{{h - {3 \over 2}} \over 3} = {{k + 5} \over { - 2}} = {{ - {3 \over 2}h + 5k - 15} \over { - 34}}

\therefore

2h+3=3k+15- 2h + 3 = 3k + 15
3k+2h=12\Rightarrow 3k + 2h = - 12

..... (3) and

17(k+5)=32h+5k1517(k + 5) = - {3 \over 2}h + 5k - 15
12k+32h100\Rightarrow 12k + {3 \over 2}h - 100
3h+24k=200\Rightarrow 3h + 24k = - 200

..... (4) Solving (3) and (4), we get

h=8h = 8

and

k=283k = - {{28} \over 3}

\therefore Point C is

(8,283)\left( {8, - {{28} \over 3}} \right)

Now radius of the circle whose centre is at C and tangent is AB is

=3(8)2(283)3432+22= \left| {{{3(8) - 2\left( { - {{28} \over 3}} \right) - 34} \over {\sqrt {{3^2} + {2^2}} }}} \right|
=26313= \left| {{{26} \over {3\sqrt {13} }}} \right|
=2133= {{2\sqrt {13} } \over 3}
Q93
The points of intersection of the line ax+by=0,(ab)ax + by = 0,(a \ne b) and the circle x2+y22x=0{x^2} + {y^2} - 2x = 0 are A(α,0)A(\alpha ,0) and B(1,β)B(1,\beta ). The image of the circle with AB as a diameter in the line x+y+2=0x + y + 2 = 0 is :
A x2+y2+5x+5y+12=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 5x + 5y + 12 = 0
B x2+y2+3x+5y+8=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 3x + 5y + 8 = 0
C x2+y25x5y+12=0{x^2} + {y^2} - 5x - 5y + 12 = 0
D x2+y2+3x+3y+4=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 3x + 3y + 4 = 0
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

As AA and BB satisfy both line and circle we have α=0A(0,0)\alpha=0 \Rightarrow A(0,0) and β=1\beta=1 i.e.

B(1,1)B(1,1) Centre of circle as ABA B diameter is (12,12)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{1}{2}\right) and radius =12=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \therefore For image of (12;12)\left(\dfrac{1}{2} ; \dfrac{1}{2}\right) in x+y+zx+y+z we get x121=y121=2(3)2\dfrac{x-\dfrac{1}{2}}{1}=\dfrac{y-\dfrac{1}{2}}{1}=\dfrac{-2(3)}{2} \Rightarrow Image (52,52)\left(-\dfrac{5}{2},-\dfrac{5}{2}\right) \therefore Equation of required circle (x+52)2+(y+52)2=12\left(x+\dfrac{5}{2}\right)^{2}+\left(y+\dfrac{5}{2}\right)^{2}=\dfrac{1}{2} x2+y2+5x+5y+50412=0\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}+5 x+5 y+\dfrac{50}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2}=0 x2+y2+5x+5y+12=0\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}+5 x+5 y+12=0

Q94
The locus of the mid points of the chords of the circle C1:(x4)2+(y5)2=4{C_1}:{(x - 4)^2} + {(y - 5)^2} = 4 which subtend an angle θi{\theta _i} at the centre of the circle C1C_1, is a circle of radius rir_i. If θ1=π3,θ3=2π3{\theta _1} = {\pi \over 3},{\theta _3} = {{2\pi } \over 3} and r12=r22+r32r_1^2 = r_2^2 + r_3^2, then θ2{\theta _2} is equal to :
A π2{\pi \over 2}
B π4{\pi \over 4}
C 3π4{{3\pi } \over 4}
D π6{\pi \over 6}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

cos(θ12)=ri2ri=2cos(θi2)\therefore \cos \left(\dfrac{\theta_{1}}{2}\right)=\dfrac{r_{i}}{2} \Rightarrow r_{i}=2 \cos \left(\dfrac{\theta_{i}}{2}\right) Given r12=r22+r33r_{1}^{2}=r_{2}^{2}+r_{3}^{3} (cos(θ12))2=(cos(θ22))2+(cos(θ32))2\Rightarrow\left(\cos \left(\dfrac{\theta_{1}}{2}\right)\right)^{2}=\left(\cos \left(\dfrac{\theta_{2}}{2}\right)\right)^{2}+\left(\cos \left(\dfrac{\theta_{3}}{2}\right)\right)^{2} 34=cos2(θ22)+14\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}=\cos ^{2}\left(\dfrac{\theta_{2}}{2}\right)+\dfrac{1}{4} cos2(θ22)=12\Rightarrow \cos ^{2}\left(\dfrac{\theta_{2}}{2}\right)=\dfrac{1}{2} θ22=π4\Rightarrow \dfrac{\theta_{2}}{2}=\dfrac{\pi}{4} θ2=π2\Rightarrow \theta_{2}=\dfrac{\pi}{2}

Q95
The number of common tangents, to the circles x2+y218x15y+131=0x^{2}+y^{2}-18 x-15 y+131=0 and x2+y26x6y7=0x^{2}+y^{2}-6 x-6 y-7=0, is :
A 4
B 2
C 3
D 1
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

We are given two circles: (1) x2+y218x15y+131=0x^2+y^2-18 x-15 y+131=0 (2) x2+y26x6y7=0x^2+y^2-6 x-6 y-7=0 First, let's find the centers and radii of the circles.

For circle (1): Completing the square for the equation: (x218x+81)+(y215y+2254)=131+81+2254(x^2-18x+{81})+(y^2-15y+\dfrac{225}{4})=-131+{81}+\dfrac{225}{4} (x9)2+(y152)2=254(x-9)^2+(y-\dfrac{15}{2})^2=\dfrac{25}{4} Center 1: C1(9,152)C_1(9, \dfrac{15}{2}) Radius 1: r1=254=52r_1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{4}}=\dfrac{5}{2} For circle (2): Completing the square for the equation: (x26x+9)+(y26y+9)=7+9+9(x^2-6x+9)+(y^2-6y+9)=7+9+9 (x3)2+(y3)2=25(x-3)^2+(y-3)^2=25 Center 2: C2(3,3)C_2(3, 3) Radius 2: r2=5r_2 = 5 Now, let's find the distance between the centers : d=(93)2+(1523)2=62+922=36+814=152d = \sqrt{(9-3)^2 + (\dfrac{15}{2}-3)^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + \dfrac{9}{2}^2} = \sqrt{36 + \dfrac{81}{4}} = \dfrac{15}{2} Next, let's analyze the relative positions of the circles using the distance between centers and the sum and difference of the radii : If d>r1+r2d > r_1 + r_2, the circles are separate, and there are 4 common tangents.

If d=r1+r2d = r_1 + r_2, the circles are externally tangent, and there are 3 common tangents.

If 0<d<r1r20 < d < |r_1 - r_2|, one circle is inside the other, and there are no common tangents.

If d=r1r2d = |r_1 - r_2|, the circles are internally tangent, and there is 1 common tangent.

If d<r1r2d < |r_1 - r_2|, one circle is completely inside the other, and there are no common tangents.

In this case : d=152d = \dfrac{15}{2} r1=52r_1 = \dfrac{5}{2} r2=5r_2 = 5 Now, let's check the conditions : r1+r2=52+5r_1 + r_2 = \dfrac{5}{2} + 5 = 152\dfrac{15}{2} Since d=152=r1+r2d = \dfrac{15}{2} = r_1 + r_2, the circles touch each other externally, and there are 3 common tangents.

Q96
Let the centre of a circle C be (α,β)(\alpha, \beta) and its radius $$r
A 7
B 9
C 5
D 6
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

First find point A by solving 4x+3y=14 x+3 y=1 and 3x4y=323 x-4 y=32 After solving, point A\mathrm{A} is (4,5)(4,-5) Centre (α,β)(\alpha, \beta) lie on 4x+3y=14 x+3 y=1

4α+3β=1β=14α34 \alpha+3 \beta=1 \Rightarrow \beta=\frac{1-4 \alpha}{3}

Now distance from centre to line 3x4y32=3 x-4 y-32= 0 and 3x+4y24=03 x+4 y-24=0 are equal.

3α4(14α3)325=3α+4(14α3)245\left|\frac{3 \alpha-4\left(\frac{1-4 \alpha}{3}\right)-32}{5}\right|=\left|\frac{3 \alpha+4\left(\frac{1-4 \alpha}{3}\right)-24}{5}\right|

After solving α=1\alpha=1 and α=283\alpha=\dfrac{28}{3} For α=1\alpha=1, centre (1,1)(1,-1) \Rightarrow radius =5=5 For α=283\alpha=\dfrac{28}{3}, centre (283,1092)\left(\dfrac{28}{3}, \dfrac{-109}{2}\right)

 radius 49.78 (rejected )\Rightarrow \text{ radius } \approx 49.78 \text{ (rejected })

Hence, α=1,β=1,r=5\alpha=1, \beta=-1, \mathrm{r}=5

αβ+r=7\alpha-\beta+\mathrm{r}=7

Q98
Let A be the point (1,2)(1,2) and B be any point on the curve x2+y2=16x^{2}+y^{2}=16. If the centre of the locus of the point P, which divides the line segment AB\mathrm{AB} in the ratio 3:23: 2 is the point C(α,β)(\alpha, \beta), then the length of the line segment AC\mathrm{AC} is :
A 355\dfrac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5}
B 655\dfrac{6 \sqrt{5}}{5}
C 255\dfrac{2 \sqrt{5}}{5}
D 455\dfrac{4 \sqrt{5}}{5}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

We have, equation of circle is x2+y2=16x^2+y^2=16 Let any point on the circle x2+y2=42x^2+y^2=4^2 is B(4cosθ,4sinθ)B(4 \cos \theta, 4 \sin \theta) and A(1,2)A(1,2) Let P\mathrm{P} be (h,k)(h, k) which divides AB\mathrm{AB} in 3:23: 2 So

h=12cosθ+23+2 and k=12sinθ+2×23+2h=\frac{12 \cos \theta+2}{3+2} \text{ and } k=\frac{12 \sin \theta+2 \times 2}{3+2}

cosθ=5h212\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\dfrac{5 h-2}{12} and sinθ=5k412\sin \theta=\dfrac{5 k-4}{12} As, cos2θ+sin2θ=1,(5h212)2+(5k412)2=1\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta=1,\left(\dfrac{5 h-2}{12}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{5 k-4}{12}\right)^2=1

(h25)2+(k45)2=12252\Rightarrow\left(h-\frac{2}{5}\right)^2+\left(k-\frac{4}{5}\right)^2=\frac{12^2}{5^2}

\therefore Locus of point PP is (x25)2+(y45)2=12252\left(x-\dfrac{2}{5}\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{4}{5}\right)^2=\dfrac{12^2}{5^2} which is equation of circle with centre (25,45)\left(\dfrac{2}{5}, \dfrac{4}{5}\right) Hence, AC=(125)2+(245)2=455=355A C=\sqrt{\left(1-\dfrac{2}{5}\right)^2+\left(2-\dfrac{4}{5}\right)^2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{45}}{5}=\dfrac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5}

Q99
A line segment AB of length λ\lambda moves such that the points A and B remain on the periphery of a circle of radius λ\lambda. Then the locus of the point, that divides the line segment AB in the ratio 2 : 3, is a circle of radius :
A 23λ{2 \over 3}\lambda
B 35λ{3 \over 5}\lambda
C 197λ{{\sqrt {19} } \over 7}\lambda
D 195λ{{\sqrt {19} } \over 5}\lambda
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Given, length of AB=λA B=\lambda So, AC=λ2A C=\dfrac{\lambda}{2} and AM=2λ5A M=\dfrac{2 \lambda}{5}

CM=ACAM=λ22λ5=λ10C M=A C-A M=\frac{\lambda}{2}-\frac{2 \lambda}{5}=\frac{\lambda}{10}

Now, from OCM\triangle O C M, we get

OM2=CM2+OC2x2+y2=(λ10)2+(λ2λ24)x2+y2=λ2100+3λ24=λ2+75λ2100x2+y2=76λ2100=19λ225x2+y2=(19λ5)2\begin{array}{ll} &O M^2=C M^2+O C^2 \\\\ &\Rightarrow x^2+y^2=\left(\frac{\lambda}{10}\right)^2+\left(\lambda^2-\frac{\lambda^2}{4}\right) \\\\ &\Rightarrow x^2+y^2=\frac{\lambda^2}{100}+\frac{3 \lambda^2}{4}=\frac{\lambda^2+75 \lambda^2}{100} \\\\ &\Rightarrow x^2+y^2=\frac{76 \lambda^2}{100}=\frac{19 \lambda^2}{25} \\\\ &\therefore x^2+y^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{19} \lambda}{5}\right)^2 \end{array}

So, radius is 19λ5\dfrac{\sqrt{19} \lambda}{5}.

Q100
Let O be the origin and OP and OQ be the tangents to the circle x2+y26x+4y+8=0x^2+y^2-6x+4y+8=0 at the points P and Q on it. If the circumcircle of the triangle OPQ passes through the point (α,12)\left( {\alpha ,{1 \over 2}} \right), then a value of α\alpha is :
A 1
B 12-\dfrac{1}{2}
C 52\dfrac{5}{2}
D 32\dfrac{3}{2}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Centre (3,2)(3,-2) Equation of circumcircle is

x(x3)+y(y+2)=0x23x+y2+2y=0\begin{aligned} & x(x-3)+y(y+2)=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2-3 x+y^2+2 y=0 \end{aligned}

Since (α,12)\left(\alpha, \dfrac{1}{2}\right) is on the circle

 So α23α+14+1=04α212α+5=0α=12±144808=12±648=12±88α=208,48=52,12\begin{aligned} & \text{ So } \alpha^2-3 \alpha+\frac{1}{4}+1=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 4 \alpha^2-12 \alpha+5=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-80}}{8} \\\\ & =\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{64}}{8}=\frac{12 \pm 8}{8} \\\\ & \alpha=\frac{20}{8}, \frac{4}{8}=\frac{5}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
