Short Answer Type Questions

Q.1: Find the equation of the circle which touches the both axes in first quadrant and whose radius is a.
Ans:
Clearly centre of the circle = (a, a)
and radius = a
Equation of circle with radius r and centre (h, k) is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
So, the equation of the required circle
⇒ (x – a)2 + (y – a)2 = a2
⇒ x2 – 2ax + a2 + y2 – 2ay + a2 = a2
⇒ x2 + y2 – 2ax – 2ay + a2 = 0
Hence, the required equation is
x2 + y2 – 2ax – 2ay + a2 = 0

and 2x + 5y = 18 ...(ii)
From eq. (i) we get y = 14 – 3x ...(iii)
Putting the value of y in eq. (ii) we get
⇒ 2x + 5(14 – 3x) = 18    
⇒ 2x + 70 – 15x = 18   
⇒ – 13x = – 70 + 18
⇒ – 13x = – 52
∴ x = 4
From eq. (iii) we get,
y = 14 – 3 x 4 = 2
∴ Point of intersection is (4, 2)
Now, radius r =NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
So, the equation of circle is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
  (x – 1)2 + ( + 2)2 = (5)2
⇒ x2 – 2x + 1 + y2 + 4y + 4 = 25
⇒ x2 + y2 – 2x + 4y – 20 = 0
Hence, the required equation is x2 + y2 – 2x + 4y – 20 = 0

Centre = (– g, – f) = (3, – 6)
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
Since the circle is concentric with the given circle
∴ Centre = (3, – 6)
Now let the radius of the circle is r
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
Area of the given circle (i) = πr2 = 30π sq unit
Area of the required circle = 2 x 30π = 60π sq. unit
If r1 be the radius of the required circle 2
πr12 = 60π ⇒ r21 = 60
So, the required equations of the circle is
(x - 3)2 + (y + 6)2 = 60
 x2 + 9 - 6x + y2 + 36 + 12y - 60 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 – 6x + 12y – 15 = 0
Hence, the required equation is x2 + y2 – 6x + 12y – 15 = 0.

Q.16. Find the coordinates of a point on the parabola y2 = 8x whose focal distance is 4.
Ans. Given parabola is y2 = 8x     ...(i)
Comparing with the equation of parabola y2 = 4ax
4a = 8 ⇒ a = 2
Now focal distance =NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
⇒ (x + a) = ± 4
⇒ x + 2 = ± 4
⇒ x = 4 – 2 = 2 and x = – 6
But x ≠ - 6 ∴ x = 2
Put x = 2 in equation (i) we get y2 = 8 x 2 = 16
∴ y = ± 4

and y = mx + 1    ...(ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii) we get
(mx + 1)2 = 4x
⇒ m2x2 + 1 + 2mx – 4x = 0
 m2x2 + (2m – 4)x + 1 = 0
Applying condition of tangency, we have
(2m – 4)2 – 4m2 x 1 = 0
⇒ 4m2 + 16 - 16m - 4m2 = 0
⇒ – 16m = – 16

Ans. We know that the intersection point of the diameter gives the centre of the circle.
Given equations of diameters are
2x – 3y = 5     ...(i)
3x – 4y = 7     ...(ii)
From eq. (i) we haveNCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced   ...(iii)
Putting the value of x in eq. (ii) we have
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
⇒ 15 + 9y – 8y = 14
⇒ y = 14 – 15 ⇒ y = – 1
Now from eq. (iii) we have
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
So, the centre of the circle = (1, – 1)
Given that area of the circle = 154    
⇒ πr2 = 154
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
⇒ r2 = 7 x 7
⇒ r = 7
So, the equation of the circle is
(x – 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = (7)2
⇒ x2 + 1 – 2x + y2 + 1 + 2y = 49
⇒ x2 + y2 – 2x + 2y = 47
Hence, the required equation of the circle is
x2 + y2 – 2x + 2y = 47

Q.24. Find the equation of the circle which passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 5) and the centre lies on the straight line y – 4x + 3 = 0.
Ans. Let the equation of the circle be
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2     ...(i)
If the circle passes through (2, 3) and (4, 5) then
(2 – h)2 + (3 – k)2 = r2      ...(ii)
and (4 – h)2 + (5 – k)2 = r2       ...(iii)
Subtracting eq. (iii) from eq. (ii) we have
(2 – h)2 – (4 – h)2 + (3 – k)2 – (5 – k)2 = 0
⇒ 4 + h2 - 4h - 16 - h2 + 8h + 9 + k2 - 6k - 25 - k2 + 10k = 0
⇒ 4h + 4k – 28 = 0
⇒ h + k = 7      ....(iv)
Since, the centre (h, k) lies on the line y – 4x + 3 = 0
then k – 4h + 3 = 0
⇒ k = 4h – 3
Putting the value of k in eq. (iv) we get
h + 4h – 3 = 7
⇒ 5h = 10 ⇒ h = 2
From (iv) we get k = 5
Putting the value of h and k in eq. (ii) we have
(2 – 2)2 + (3 – 5)2 = r2
⇒ r2 = 4
So, the equation of the circle is
(x – 2)2 + (y – 5)2 = 4
 x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 25 – 10y = 4
⇒ x2 + y2 – 4x – 10y + 25 = 0
Hence, the required equation is
x2 + y2 – 4x – 10y + 25 = 0.

In ΔCPA, AC2 = CP2 + AP2 
= (√29)2 + (3)2 = 29 + 9 = 38
∴ AC = √38
So, the radius of the circle, r = √38
∴ Equation of the circle is
(x – 3)2 + (y + 1)2 = (√38)2  
⇒ (x – 3)2 + (y + 1)2 = 38
⇒ x2 + 9  – 6x + y2 + 1 + 2y = 38
⇒ x2 + y2 – 6x + 2y = 28
Hence, the required equation is x2 + y2 – 6x + 2y = 28.

Let the centre of the required circle be (h, k).
Clearly, P is the mid-point of C1C2
NCERT Exemplar: Conic Sections (Exercise) | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced
Radius of the required circle = 5
∴ Eq. of the circle is (x – 9)2 + (y – 8)2 = (5)2 
⇒ x2 + 81 – 18x + y2 + 64 – 16y = 25
⇒ x2 + y2 – 18x – 16y + 145 – 25 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 – 18x – 16y + 120 = 0
Hence, the required equation is x2 + y2 – 18x – 16y + 120 = 0.

Q.27. Find the equation of a circle passing through the point (7, 3) having radius 3 units and whose centre lies on the line y = x – 1.

Ans. Let the equation of the circle be
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
If it passes through (7, 3) then
(7 – h)2 + (3 – k)2 = (3)2     [∵ r = 3]
⇒ 49 + h2 – 14h + 9 + k2 – 6k = 9
⇒ h2 + k2 – 14h – 6k + 49 = 0    ...(i)
If centre (h, k) lies on the line y = x – 1 then
k = h – 1     ...(ii)
Putting the value of k in eq. (i) we get
h2 + (h – 1)2 – 14h – 6(h – 1) + 49 = 0
⇒ h2 + h2 + 1 – 2h – 14h – 6h + 6 + 49 = 0
⇒ 2h2 – 22h + 56 = 0
⇒ h2 – 11h + 28 = 0
⇒ h2 – 7h – 4h + 28 = 0
⇒ h(h – 7) – 4(h – 7) = 0
⇒ (h – 4)(h – 7) = 0
∴ h = 4, h = 7
From eq. (ii) we get k = 4 – 1 = 3 and k = 7 – 1 = 6.
So, the centres are (4, 3) and (7, 6).
∴ Equation of the circle is
Taking centre (4, 3),
(x – 4)2 + (y – 3)2 = 9
x2 + 16 – 8x + y2 + 9 – 6y = 9
⇒ x2 + y2 – 8x – 6y + 16 = 0
Taking centre (7, 6)
(x – 7)2 + (y – 6)2 = 9

Ans. Given equation of the circle is
x2 + y2 + 6x + 2y = 0
Centre is (– 3, – 1)
If x + 3y = 0 is the equation of diameter, then the centre (– 3, – 1) will lie on x + 3y = 0
