  • question_answer
    If a line, \[y=mx+c\] is a tangent to the circle, \[{{\left( x-3 \right)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] and it is perpendicular to a line \[{{L}_{1}}\], where \[{{L}_{1}}\] is the tangent to the circle, \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] at the point \[\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)\]; then            [JEE MAIN Held on 08-01-2020 Evening]

    A) \[{{c}^{2}}+6c+7=0\]

    B) \[{{c}^{2}}-7c+6=0\]

    C) \[{{c}^{2}}+7c+6=0\]

    D) \[{{c}^{2}}-6c+7=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Tangent at \[\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)\] on circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] is \[x+y=\sqrt{2}\] \[\therefore \] Slope of tangent m = 1 for circle \[{{\left( x-3 \right)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] \[\because \] Any tangent of circle \[{{(x-3)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] is \[y=mx-3m\pm \sqrt{1+{{m}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,c+3m=\pm \sqrt{1+{{m}^{2}}}\]    \[\therefore \,\,m=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{c}^{2}}+6c+7=0\]
