Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 1

If the line 2x – y + λ = 0 is a diameter of the circle x2+y2+6x−6y+5 = 0 then λ =

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 1

x2 + y2 + 6x − 6y + 5 = 0
Center O = (-3, 3)
radius r = √{(-3)2 + (3)2 - 5} 
= √{9 + 9 - 5} 
= √13
Since diameter of the circle passes through the center of the circle.
So (-3, 3) satisfies the equation 2x – y + λ = 0
=> -3*2 - 3 + λ = 0
=> -6 - 3 + λ = 0
=> -9 + λ = 0
=> λ = 9

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 2

Length of common chord of the circles x2+y2+2x+6y = 0 and x2+y2−4x−2y−6 = 0 is 

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 2

Given equation of circles are 

S1 = x2 + y2 + 2x + 6y = 0 ..................1

S2 = x2 + y2 − 4x − 2y − 6 = 0 ............2

Subtract equation 1 - equation 2, we get

S1 - S2 = 6x + 8y + 6 = 0

=> 6x + 8y + 6 = 0 ............3

Cente of the circle S2 is (2, 1)

Now, the length of the perpendicular from the center (2, 1) of of the circle 2 upon the common chord 3 is

l = (6*2 + 8*1 + 6)/√{62 + 82 }

=> l = (12 + 8 + 6)/√{36 + 64}

=> l = 26/√100

=> l = 26/10

=> l = 13/5

Radius of the circle 2 is

r = √{22 + 12 - (-6)}

=> r = √{4 + 1 + 6}

=> r = √11

Now length of common chord = 2√{r2 - l2 }

 = 2√{(√11)2 - (13/5)2 }

= 2√{11 - 169/25}

= 2√{(275 - 169)/25}

= 2√{106/25} unit

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 3

The circles x2+y2+6x+6y = 0 and x2+y2−12x−12y = 0

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 3

Given equation of circles are
x2+y2+6x+6y=0....(i)
and x2+y2−12x−12y=0....(ii)
Here, g1 = 3,f2 = 3, g2 = −6 and f2 = −6
∴ Centres of circles are C1(−3,−3) and C2(6,6) respectively and radii are r1 = 3√2 and r2 = 6√2 respectively.
Now, C1C2 = √[(6+3)2 + (6+3)2]
= 9√2
and r1 + r2
​= 3(2)1/2 + 6(2)1/2
= 9(2)1/2
​⇒ C1C2 = r1 + r2
∴ Both circles touch each other externally.

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 4

Let P(x1, y1) and P(x2, y2) are two points such that their abscissas x1 and x2 are the roots of the equation x2 + 2x − 3 = 0 while the ordinates  y1 and y2 are the roots of the equation y2 + 4y − 12 = 0.Then the centre of the circle with PQ  as diameter is

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 4

Given x1, x2 are the roots of the equation.
x+ 2x − 3 = 0
⇒ x2 + 3x − x − 3 = 0
⇒x(x+3)−1(x+3)=0
⇒(x−1)(x+3)=0
⇒ x1 = −3, x2 = 1
And y1,y2 are the roots of the equation.
y2+4y−12=0
⇒y2+6y−2y−12=0
⇒y(y+6)−2(y+6)=0
⇒(y−2)(y+6)=0
⇒y1 = −6,
y2 = 2
Points are P(−3,−6) &Q(1,2)
Since Pand Q are the endpoints of a diameter.
∴ Centre = Mid point of PQ

=(−1,) −2

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 5

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 7

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 8

The equation of a circle with origin as a centre and passing through vertices of an equilateral triangle whose median is of length 3a, is

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 8

In an equilateral triangle, the circumcentre of a circle lies on the centroid of the triangle and centroid divides median in 2:1.
Hence, OC=2/3×(length of median)
⇒ OC = 2/3 × 3a = 2a
Here, radius of circle is 2a

∴ Required equation of circle is
x2+y2=4a2

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 9

The equation of the circle whose diameter is the common chord of the circles x2 + y2 + 2x + 3y + 2 = 0 and x2 + y2 + 2x − 3y − 4 = 0 is

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 9


Equation of common chord is
S1 - S
⇒ 6y + 6 = 0 ⇒ y = -1
Putting y=−1 in Eq. (i), we get
∴ x2+1+2x−3+2=0
x2+2x=0⇒x=0,−2
∴ End points of diameter are
(0,−1) and (−2,−1)
Equation of circle is
(x−0) (x+2)+(y+1)(y+1) = 0
⇒ x2+2x+y2+2y+1 = 0

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 10

A, B, C are points on the circle x2 + (y − 2)2 = a2 and α,β,γ are the parameters of the points A,B,C, if the ΔABC is equilateral, then:

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 10

The point A is (acosα,2+asinα)
since the triangle ABC is equilateral its circum centre (0,2) coincides with its centroid

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 11

If there is a point (x,y) on circle x2+y2−4x−6y−3=0, then maximum value of is

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 11

x2+y2−4x−6y−3=0
⇒  (x−2)2+(y−3)2=42
Parametric forms of circle will be
x−2=4cosθ and y−3=4sinθ
⇒  x=2+4cosθ and y=3+4sinθ
Now, x + y = 5 + 4(sinθ + cosθ), − √2 ≤ sinθ + cosθ ≤√2 for maximum value of , value of (x+y) will be minimum, so (x + y) min = 5 + 4(−√2) = 5−4√2
Hence, answer is

Let (h,k) be the centre of the circle
Now AO=CO⇒AO2=CO2
⇒(2−h)2+(3−k)
=(3+h)2+(2−k)2
⇒k=−5h...(i)

and AO=BO⇒AO2=BO
⇒(2−h)2+(3−k)2=(3−h)2+(1+k)2 
⇒2h−8k=−3...(ii)
after solving (i) \& (ii), we get

Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 13

The length of tangent from the point (2, - 3) to the circle 2x2+2y2 = 1 is

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 13

Length of tangent from an external point (h,k) to  S = √(S(h,k))
S(2,-3) = √[2(2)2 + 2(-3)2 - 1] 
=> S(2,-3) = √[8 + 18 - 1]  
=> S(2,-3) = √25
=> S(2,-3) = 5

The total number of ordered pairs =49
Out of these 49 ordered pairs, 4 ordered  {(−3,−3),(−3,3),(3,−3),(3,3)} pairs doesn't satisfy.

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections - 1 - Question 19

Let the equation of circle be x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0.
Then the radius, 
Centre: (−g,−f).
But since circle touches Y-axis, the absolute value of abscissa is equal to the radius, |−g|=r.
⇒g2=r2⇒g2=g2+f2−c
⇒c=f2
Centre of the circle, x2+y2−6x−6y+14=0: (3,3)

As the two circles touch externally, the distance between
centres is equal to the sum of radii. 

Hence, locus of the centre (−g,−f) obtained by substituting −g=x, −f=y⇒g=−x, f=−y, is y2−10x−6y+14=0.
