Q.

Let the circles C1:x2+y2=9 and C2:(x-3)2+(y-4)2=16, intersect at the points X and Y. Suppose that another circle C3:(x-h)2+(y-k)2=p2 satisfies the following conditions:

(i) Centre of C3 is collinear with the centres of C1 and C2

(ii) C1 and C2 both lie inside C3, and

(iii) C3 touches C1 at M and C2 at N.

Let the line through X and Y intersect C3 at Z and W, and let a common tangent of C1 and C3 be a tangent to the parabola x2=8αy.

There are some expressions given in the Column-I whose values are given in Column-II below:

Q.   Which of the following is the only INCORRECT combination            [2019]

 

1 (D),(s)  
2 (A),(p)  
3 (C),(r)  
4 (D),(u)  

Ans.

(1)

Given three circles are

C1:x2+y2=9

C2:(x-3)2+(y-4)2=16

C3:(x-h)2+(y-k)2=r2

Centres of circles C1,C2,C3 are D(0,0),E(3,4),F(h,k) respectively 

and radii of circles C1:C2:C3 are 3,4,r respectively

Equation of DE:y=43x

Centres of circles C1,C2,C3 are collinear F(h,43h)

MN=MD+DE+EN=3+5+4=12r=6

  DE=6-3=3

h2+169h2=9h2=8125h=95 taking h +ve, as lies between D and E

 F(95,125)

2h+k=185+125=305=6

  (A)-(p)

DE is common chord of circles C1 and C2

  Equation of XY:S1-S2=0

6x+8y-18=03x+4y-9=0

Length of perpendicular from D to XY=95=DP

Also DX=3,  PX=9-8125=225-8125=125

 XY=2PX=245

ZW is chord of C3

FP=MF-MP=6-(3+95)=6-245=65

 ZP=62-(65)2=1265     ZW=2465

Hence, Length of ZWLength of XY=246/524/5=6

  (B)-(q)

Area of MZN=12×MN×ZP =12×12×1265=7265

Area of ZMW=12×ZW×MP =12×2465×245=288625

  Area of MZNArea of ZMW=7265×252886=54

 (C)-(r)

Now common tangent of C1 and C3 is S1-S3=0

2hx+2ky-h2-k2=9-r2

185x+245y-8125-14425=9-36

3x+4y+15=0

It is tangent to x2=8αy

Putting value of y from common tangent in parabola, we get

x2=-8α(3x+154)x2+6αx+30α=0

It should have equal roots

 36α2-120α=0α=103

 (D)-(u)

Thus (B)-(q) is the only correct combination and (D)-(s) is the only incorrect combination.

Option (1) is incorrect
