Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 1

Test: Circle- 2 - Question 2

If a be the radius of a circle which touches x-axis at the origin, then its equation is

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 2

The equation of the circle  with centre at (h,k) and radius equal to a is (x−h)+(y−k)= a2
 When the circle passes through the origin  and centre lies on x− axis 
⇒h = a and k = 0
Then the equation (x−h)2+(y−k)2=abecomes (x−a)2+y2=a2
If a circle passes through the origin and centre lies on x−axis then the abscissa will be equal to the radius of the circle and the y−co-ordinate of the centre will be zero Hence, the equation of the circle will be of the form 
(x±a)2+y2=a2⇒x2+a±2ax+y2=a2
=x2 +y±2ax=0 is the required equation of the circle.

Test: Circle- 2 - Question 4

The equation of a circle which passes through the three points (3, 0) (1, –6), (4, –1) is

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 4

Gen equation of a circle is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2 (3,0),(1,−6),(4,−1) circle passes through these points
∴ These three points should satisfy the equation
of circle.
(3−h)2+k2=r2 ___ (I)
(1−h)2 +(−6−k)2 = r2(1−h)2+(6+k)2=r2  ___ (II)
From (I) & (II)
(3−h)2+k2 =(1−h)2+(6+k)2
9+h2−6h+k2 =1+h2 2h+36+k2+12k
9−6h=1−2h+36+12k
9−37=4h+12k
−28=4h+12k
h+3k=−7
h=−7−3k ___ (III)
(4−h)2+(−1−k)2=r2 ___ (IV)
From (I) & (IV)
(3−h)2+k2 = (4−h)2 +(1+k)2
9+h2 −6h+k2
 =16+h2 −8h+1+k2+2k
9−6h=17−8h+2k
9−17=−2h+2k
−8=−2h+2k
−h+k=−4
k=−4+h ___ (V)
Put (V) in (III)
h=−7−3(−4+h)
h=−7+12−3h
h=5/4,k=−11/4,r=170/16
Eq of circle: (x−5/4)2 +(y+11/4)2 =170/16
x2+25/16−10x/4+y2 +121/16+22y/4=170/16
Simplifying, we get 2x2+xy2−5x+11y−3=0

For y=mx+1 to be tangent, discriminant =0
(6m−2)2−4×5(1+m2)=0
36m2+4−24m−20m2+20=0
16m2−20m+24=0
⇒ 2m2−3m−2=0
(2m+1)(m−2)=0

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 14

Centre and radius of the given circle are C(2,1) and √4+1+20 = 5 respectively.
Now CP=√82+62=10. Hence greatest distance of point P from the given circle is =10+r=15

Test: Circle- 2 - Question 15

The equation of the normal to the circle x2+y2 = 9 at the point  is

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 15

(x-x1)/(x1+g) = (y-y1)/(y1+g)
[x-1/(2)½]/(1/(2)½) = [y-1/(2)½]/(1/(2)½)
[(2x)½ -1 *(2)½]/(2)½ = [(2x)½ -1 *(2)½]/(2)½
(2x)½ -1 = (2y)½ -1
= x-y = 0

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 20

Let P(x1,y1) be a point on the line 3x + 4y = 12
Equation of variable chord of contact of P(x1,y1) w.r.t circle x2 + y2 = 4 
xx1 + yy1 − 4 = 0   ...(1)
Also 3x1 + 4y1 − 12 = 0
⇒ x1 + 4/3y1 − 4 = 0   ...(2)
Comparing (1) and (2), we get
x = 1; y = 4/3
∴ Variable chord of contact always passes through (1, 4/3)

Test: Circle- 2 - Question 21

The locus of the mid-points of the chords of the circle x2 + y2 – 2x – 4y – 11 = 0 which subtend 60º at the centre is

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 21

Let AB be the chord of the circle and P be the midpoint of AB.
It is known that perpendicular from the center bisects a chord.
Thus △ACP is a right-angled triangle.
Now AC=BC= radius.
The equation of the give circle can be written as
(x−1)2+(y−2)2=16
Hence, centre C=(1,2) and radius =r=4 units.
PC=ACsin60degree
= rsin60degree
= 4([2(3)½]/2
= 2(3)1/2 units
Therefore, PC=2(3)1/2
⇒ PC2=12
⇒ (x−1)2+(y−2)2=12
⇒ x2+y2−2x−4y+5=12
⇒ x2+y2−2x−4y−7=0

Test: Circle- 2 - Question 22

The locus of the centres of the circles such that the point (2, 3) is the mid point of the chord 5x + 2y = 16 is

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 22

Slope of the given chord = −5/2
Slope of the line joining the midpoint on the chord and the centre of the circle = (3+f)/(2+g)
(5/2)[(3+f)/(2+g)] = −1
⇒ 15 + 5f = 4 + 2g
⇒ Locus is 2x − 5y + 11 = 0

Test: Circle- 2 - Question 23

The equation of the circle having the lines y2 – 2y + 4x – 2xy = 0 as its normals & passing through the point (2, 1) is

Detailed Solution for Test: Circle- 2 - Question 23

The normal line to circle is →y² - 2 y + 4 x -2 xy=0
→ y(y-2) - 2x(y-2)=0
→ (y-2)(y-2x)=0
the two lines are , y=2 and 2 x -y =0
The point of intersection of normals are centre of circle.
→ Put , y=2 in 2 x -y=0, we get
→2 x -2=0
→2 x=2
→ x=1
So, the point of intersection of normals is (1,2) which is the center of circle.
Also, the circle passes through (2,1).
Radius of circle is given by distance formula = [(1-2)² + (2-1)²]½ 
=(1+1)½ =(2)½
The equation of circle having center (1,2) and radius √2 is
= (x-1)²+(y-2)²=[√2]²
→ (x-1)²+(y-2)²= 2
x²+y² -2x-4y+3 = 0
