Q.

If the image of the point (–4,5) in the line x + 2y = 2 lies on the circle (x+4)2+(y3)2=r2, then r is equal to :          [2024]

1 1  
2 4  
3 3  
4 2  

Ans.

(4)

x+41=y52=2(4+2×52)1+4=85

 x=485= 285, y=5165=95

  Image is (285,95)

Image lies on circle (x+4)2+(y3)2=r2

(285+4)2+(953)2=r2

 6425+3625=r2  r2=4  r=2
