JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Circle and System of Circles Question Bank System of circles

  • question_answer
    The equation of the circle which passes through the intersection of \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+13x-3y=0\]and \[2{{x}^{2}}+2{{y}^{2}}+4x-7y-25=0\] and whose centre lies on \[13x+30y=0\] is                                      [DCE 2001]

    A)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+30x-13y-25=0\]

    B)            \[4{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}+30x-13y-25=0\]

    C)            \[2{{x}^{2}}+2{{y}^{2}}+30x-13y-25=0\]

    D)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+30x-13y+25=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               The equation of required circle is\[{{S}_{1}}+\lambda {{S}_{2}}=0\].                    Þ \[{{x}^{2}}(1+\lambda )+{{y}^{2}}(1+\lambda )+x(2+13\lambda )-y\left( \frac{7}{2}+3\lambda  \right)-\frac{25}{2}=0\]                    Centre = \[\left( \frac{-(2+13\lambda )}{2},\,\,\frac{\frac{7}{2}+3\lambda }{2} \right)\]                    \[\because \]  Centre lies on \[13x+30y=0\]                    \[\Rightarrow \]\[-13\left( \frac{2+13\lambda }{2} \right)+30\left( \frac{\frac{7}{2}+3\lambda }{2} \right)=0\]\[\Rightarrow \,\]\[\lambda =1\].                    Hence the equation of required circle is \[4{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}+30x-13y-25=0.\]
