Q.

Let a circle passing through (2,0) have its centre at the point (h, k). Let (xc,yc) be the point of intersection of the lines 3x + 5y = 1 and (2+c)x+5c2y=1. If h=limc1xc and k=limc1yc, then the equation of the circle is :          [2024]

1 5x2+5y24x+2y12=0  
2 5x2+5y24x2y12=0  
3 25x2+25y220x+2y60=0  
4 25x2+25y22x+2y60=0  

Ans.

(3)

We have, 3x + 5y = 1          ... (i)

  (2+c)x+5c2y=1       ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by c2 and subtracting it from (ii), we get

(2+c3c2)x=1c2

 xc=1c22+c3c2=(1c)(1+c)(1c)(3c+2)=c+13c+2

 y=13x5=13(c+13c+2)5=3c+23c35(3c+2)

 yc=15(3c+2)

Now, h=limc1xc=limc1(c+13c+2)=1+13+2=25

and k=limc1yc=limc115(3c+2)=125

Equation of circle is

(x25)2+(y+125)2=6425+1625              [ Circle passes through (2, 0)]

 x2+y245x+225y+425+1625=6425+1625

 25x2+25y220x+2y+4=64

 25x2+25y220x+2y60=0
