Q.

Let PQ and MN be two straight lines touching the circle x2+y2-4x-6y-3=0 at the points A and B respectively. Let O be the centre of the circle and angle AOB=π3 Then the locus of the point of intersection of the lines PQ and MN is:         [2026]

1 3(x2+y2)-12x-18y-25=0  
2 3(x2+y2)-18x-12y+25=0  
3 x2+y2-12x-18y-25=0  
4 x2+y2-18x-12y-25=0  

Ans.

(1)

Given Circle

x2+y2-4x-6y-3=0

C(2,3) and r=4

cos30°=rOR=4OR

OR=83

Now

OR2=(h-2)2+(k-3)2

3(x2+y2)-12x-18y-25=0
