Q.

Let |z¯i2z¯+i|=13, zC, be the equation of a circle with center at C. If the area of the triangle, whose vertices are at the point (0, 0), C and (α,0) is 11 square units, then α2 equals :          [2025]

1 100  
2 8125  
3 12125  
4 50  

Ans.

(1)

Given, |z¯i2z¯+i|=13 and zC

 |z¯iz¯+i2|=23  3|xiyi|=2|xiy+i2|

 3|xi(y+1)|=2|xi(y12)|

 3x2+(y+1)2=2(x)2+(y12)2

Squaring on both sides, we get

9(x2+y2+1+2y)=4(x2+y2+14y)

 9x2+9y2+9+18y=4x2+4y2+14y

 5x2+5y2+22y+8=0

 x2+y2+225y+85=0

Centre (C)=(0,115)

Now, 12|0+0+α(0+115)|=11          [Given]

 11α5=22  α=10            α2=100.
