are parallel to the straight line ???? + ???? + ?? = ?? , are 
(a) ?? ?? - ?? ?? - ???? = ?? , ?? ?? - ?? ?? + ???? = ?? 
(b) ?? ?? + ?? ?? - ???? = ?? , ?? ?? + ?? ?? + ???? = ?? 
(c) ?? ?? + ?? ?? + ???? = ?? , ?? ?? + ?? ?? - ???? = ?? 
(d) ?? ?? - ?? ?? + ???? = ?? , ?? ?? - ?? ?? + ???? = ?? 
Ans: (c) 
Sol: Let equation of tangent be 4?? + 3?? + ?? = 0,  
then v 9 + 4 + 12 = |
4(3)+3(-2)+?? v 16+9
| ? 6 + ?? = ±25 ? ?? = 19 and -31 
Hence the equations of tangents are 4?? + 3?? + 19 = 0 and 4?? + 3?? - 31 = 0 
Q6: If the distances from the origin to the centres of three circles ?? ?? + ?? ?? +
?? ?? ?? ?? - ?? ?? = ?? (?? = ?? , ?? , ?? ) are in G.P. then the lengths of the tangents drawn 
to them from any point on the circle ?? ?? + ?? ?? = ?? ?? are in 
(a) A.P. 
(b) G.P. 
(c) H.P. 
(d) None of these 
Ans: (b) 
Sol: The centres of the given circles are (-?? ?? , 0)(?? = 1,2,3) 
The distances from the origin to the centres are ?? ?? (?? = 1,2,3). It is given that ?? 2

=
?? 1
?? 3
. 
Let ?? (h, ?? ) be any point on the circle ?? 2
+ ?? 2
= ?? 2
, then, h
2
+ ?? 2
= ?? 2
Now, ?? ?? = 
length of the tangent from (h, ?? ) to ?? 2
+ ?? 2
+ 2?? ?? ?? - ?? 2
= 0 
= vh
2
+ ?? 2
+ 2?? ?? h - ?? 2
= v?? 2
+ 2?? ?? h - ?? 2
= v2?? ?? h [? h

+ ?? 2
= ?? 2
 and ?? = 1,2,3] 
Therefore, ?? 2

h = 2h(v?? 1

[? ?? 2

Hence, ?? 1

 are in G.P. 
Q7: Two tangents to the circle ?? ?? + ?? ?? = ?? at the points ?? and ?? meet at 
?? (-?? , ?? ). The area of quadrilateral ???????? , where ?? is the origin, is 
(a) 4 
(b) ?? v ?? 
(c) ?? v ?? 
(d) None of these 
Ans: (c) 
Sol: 
 
 
Clearly, sin ?? =

? Area (quadrilateral ???? ) = 2 ·

= 4v 3. 
Trick : Area of quadrilateral = ?? v?? 1
= 2v 12 = 4v 3 
Q8: The area of the triangle formed by the tangents from the point (?? , ?? ) to 
the circle ?? ?? + ?? ?? = ?? and the line joining their points of contact is 
(a) 
????
??????
 sq.units 
(b) 
??????
????

(c) 
??????
????

(d) None of these 
Ans: (b) 
Sol:   
 
 
The equation of the chord of contact of tangents drawn from ?? (4,3) to ?? 2
+ ?? 2
=
9 is 4?? + 3?? = 9. The equation of ???? is ?? =
3
4
?? . 
Now, ???? = (length of the perpendicular from (0,0) on 4?? + 3?? - 9 = 0) =

? ???? = 2. ???? = 2v?? ?? 2
- ?? ?? 2

Now, ???? = ???? - ???? = 5 -

Q9: If two distinct chords, drawn from the point (?? , ?? ) on the circle ?? ?? + ?? ?? =
???? + ???? (where , ?? ? ?? ) are bisected by the ?? -axis, then  
(a) ?? ?? = ?? ?? 
(b) ?? ?? = ?? ?? ?? 
(c) ?? ?? < ?? ?? ?? 
(d) ?? ?? > ?? ?? ?? 
Ans: (d) 
Sol: Let (h, 0) be a point on ?? -axis, then the equation of chord whose mid-point is 
(h, 0) will be ?? h -

FAQs on Solved Examples: Circle - Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

1. What is the formula to calculate the circumference of a circle?
Ans. The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C represents the circumference and r is the radius of the circle.
2. How is the area of a circle calculated?
Ans. The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A represents the area and r is the radius of the circle.
3. How can the diameter of a circle be determined if the circumference is known?
Ans. The diameter of a circle can be determined by dividing the circumference by π, which is approximately 3.14159. The formula is d = C/π, where d represents the diameter and C is the circumference.
4. What is the relationship between the radius and the diameter of a circle?
Ans. The diameter of a circle is twice the length of the radius. In other words, the diameter is equal to 2 times the radius, represented by the formula d = 2r.
5. How can the radius of a circle be calculated if the diameter is known?
Ans. The radius of a circle can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2. The formula to find the radius is r = d/2, where r represents the radius and d is the diameter of the circle.
