Q.

If the four distinct points (4, 6), (–1, 5), (0, 0) and (k, 3k) lie on a circle of radius r, then 10k+r2 is equal to          [2025]

1 34  
2 33  
3 32  
4 35  

Ans.

(4)

Let P(4,6), Q(1,5), R(0,0) and S(k,3k).

Slope of line through point P and Q is

m1=15          ... (i)

Slope of line through point Q and R is

m2=5          ... (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

m1m2=1

So, line passes by P and Q is perpendicular to line passes by Q and R.

So, P and R will represent end point of diameter of circle so we have

        (x – 4)(x – 0) + (y – 6) (y – 0) = 0

 x2+y24x6y=0

Since (k, 3k) lies on it

  k2+9k24k18k=0

 10k222k=0

 k = 0, 115

Since, k = 0 is not possible, so k=115

Also, r=42+622=522=13

  10k+r2=10×115+(13)2=35.
