    If\[\left( {{m}_{i}},\,\,\frac{1}{{{m}_{i}}} \right)\]are four distinct points on a circle, then

    A) \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}{{m}_{3}}{{m}_{4}}=1\]

    B)        \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}{{m}_{3}}{{m}_{4}}=-1\]

    C) \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}{{m}_{3}}{{m}_{4}}=\frac{1}{2}\]

    D)        \[\frac{1}{{{m}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{m}_{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{m}_{3}}}+\frac{1}{{{m}_{4}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the points\[\left( {{m}_{i}},\,\,\frac{1}{{{m}_{i}}} \right),\,\,i=1,\,2,\,3,\,4\]lie on the circle\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\] Then, \[\Rightarrow \]\[m_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{m_{i}^{2}}+2g{{m}_{i}}+\frac{2f}{{{m}_{i}}}+c=0,\,\,i=1,\,2,\,3,\,4\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[m_{i}^{4}+2gm_{i}^{3}+cm_{i}^{2}+2f{{m}_{i}}+1=0\]                 \[i=1,\,2,\,3,\,4\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{m}_{1}},\,\,{{m}_{2}},\,\,{{m}_{3}}\]and\[{{m}_{4}}\]are the roots of the equation                 \[{{m}^{4}}+2g{{m}^{3}}+c{{m}^{2}}+2fm+1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}{{m}_{3}}{{m}_{4}}=\frac{1}{1}=1\]
