MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 3

The lines 2x – 3y = 5 and 3x – 4y = 7 are diameters of a circle having area as 154 sq. units. Then the equation of the circle is

[AIEEE-2003]

Detailed Solution for MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 3

πr2 = 154, 2x - 3y = 5 x 3

On solving 2x - 3y = 5 & 3x - 4y = 7 we get, x = 1, y = -1
So centre (1, -1)
equation of circle (x - 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 72
x2+ y2 - 2x + 2y = 47

MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 4

If a circle passes through the point (a, b) and cuts the circle x2 + y2 = 4 orthogonally, then the locus of its centre is

-[AIEEE-2004]

Detailed Solution for MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 4

let (h, k) be centre of circle equation of circle
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = (a - h)2 + (b - k)2
x2 - 2xh + h2 + y2 - 2yk + k2
= a2 + h2 - 2ah + b2 + k2 - 2bk
x2 + y2 - 2xh - 2yk + 2ah + 2bk - a2 - b2 = 0 
For orthogonal
2g1g2 + 2 ff2 = c1 + c2
2h. 0 2k. 0
= 2ah + 2bk - a2 - b2 - p2 = 0
2ah + 2bk - (a2 + b2 + p2) = 0
locus of (h, k) is tax + 2by - (a2 + b2 + p2) = 0 

MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 5

[AIEEE-2004]

Detailed Solution for MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 5

Let the equation of the circle is (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = k2

(2k)2 = (a - b)2 + (b - 2)2
(b + q)2 = (a - p)2 + b2 + q2 - 2bq
(a - p)2 = 4bq
(x - p)2 = 4pq 

MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 6

If the lines 2x + 3y + 1 = 0 and 3x – y – 4 = 0 lie along diameters of a circle of circumference 10π, then the equation of the circle is -

[AIEEE-2004]

Detailed Solution for MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 6

2x + 3y + 1= 0
3x - y - 4 = 0 x 3
11x - 11= 0
x = 1
y = -1
2πr = 10π
r = 5 
(x - 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 52
so x2 + y2 - 2x + 2y - 23 = 0 

MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 7

[AIEEE-2005]

Detailed Solution for MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 7

PQ is common chord equation of PQ is S1 - S2 = 0
⇒ 5ax + (c - d) y + a + 1 = 0 also PQ 5x + by - a = 0 both are identical so 

By (i) & (iii)
-a2 = a + 1
a2 + a + 1 = 0
which is always > 0
So option B is correct

let (h, k) be centre of circle equation of circle
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = (a - h)2 + (b - k)2
x2 - 2xh + h2 + y2 - 2yk + k2
= a2 + h2 - 2ah + b2 + k2 - 2bk
x2 + y2 - 2xh - 2yk + 2ah + 2bk - a2 - b2 = 0 
For orthogonal
2 g1g2 + 2 f1 f2 = c1 + c2 2h. 0 + 2k. 0
= 2ah + 2bk - a2 - b2 - p2 = 0
2ah + 2bk - (a2 + b2 + p2) = 0 locus of (h, k) is tax + 2by -(a2 + b2 + p2) = 0

angle between pair of straight line is given by

ax2 + 2(a+b) xy + by2 = 0
h = (a+b)
4θ = π ⇒ θ = π/4


(a+b)2 = 4(a+b)2 - 4ab
3(a+b)2 - 4ab = 0
3a2 + 3b2 + 2ab = 0

MCQ (Previous Year Questions) - Circle (Competition Level 1) - Question 11
