SECTION-1

1.(B) C   5,10  is the centre and r  13 is the radius of the given circle. Suppose the line 3 x  4 y  0 cuts
the circle at points A and B and M is the midpoint of AB. Therefore, CM is the perpendicular drawn to
3  5   4 10 
AB which is given by CM  5
2 2

Therefore, AB  2 AM  2 CA2  CM 2  2 132  52  2  12  24

2.(A) Let S  x 2  y 2  2ax  0 and P   h, k  be a point on S  0.

Therefore h2  k 2  2ah  0 …(i)

Now, Q  h / 2, k / 2  is the centre of the circle drawn on OP as the diameter. From Eq. (i) we have

h k h
     a   0
2  2 2
Therefore, the locus of Q is x 2  y 2  ax  0.

3.(B) Let S  x 2  y 2  4 x  5 y  6  0 and S '  x 2  y 2  4  0. Let P  x, y  be a point from which the

tangent to S  0 is double the tangent to S '  0. By hypothesis, S11  2 S '11

Therefore S11  4S '11

 
x12  y12  4 x1  5 y1  6  4 x12  y12  4   3x12  3 y12  4 x1  5 y1  22  0

Hence, the locus is a circle whose equation is given by 3 x 2  3 y 2  4 x  5 y  22  0.

4.(A) The centre and the radius of the circle S  0 are  4,  2  and 5, respectively. We have
2
S11  32   3 8  3  4  3  5  25  0.
Hence,  3, 3 is external to S  0. Let y  3  m  x  3 be a line passing through  3, 3 . This line

m  4  3  2  3
touches the circle S  0. This implies that  5.

Therefore, the tangent (with negative slope) from  3, 3 to the circle S  0 is y  3   x  3

That is, 4 x  3 y  3  0

8
5.(C) L  S  S '  5 x  5 y  0 is the common chord of S  0 and S '  0. Any circle passing through the
intersection of S  0 and S '  0 is of the form S  L  x 2  y 2  2 x  3 y  1    x  y   0

The given circle passes through the point  2,1 .

This implies that 22  12  2  2   3 1  1    2  1  0    3

Therefore, the required equation is x 2  y 2  2 x  3 y  1  3  x  y   0.

That is x 2  y 2  5 x  6 y  1  0

6.(A) Let S  x 2  y 2  4  0 and L  2 x  3 y  1  0.

The required circle equation is S  L  x 2  y 2  4    2 x  3 y  1  0

 3 
The centre of the circle is  , 
 2 
Since AB is the diameter of S  L  0 and  , 3 / 2  lies on L  0, we have

 3  2
2     3   1  
 2  13

Therefore S  L  x 2  y 2  4   2 x  3 y  1  0
13
  
13 x 2  y 2  4 x  6 y  50  0

7.(B)  x  h 2   y  h 2  h 2  h  0 touches both positive axes. This circle also touches the line

4  h   3h  6
4 x  3 y  6  0. Therefore h

  7h  6 2  25h 2   7h  6  5h  7h  6  5h   0

 12h  6  2h  6   0  h  ,3

Therefore, the equation of the required circle with maximum area is given by
 x  3 2   y  3  2  9
2 2
8.(D) S   x  1   y  3  0 is a point circle and L  3 x  y  6  0 . Therefore, required circle is of the
form
S  L  x 2  y 2  2 x  6 y  10    3 x  y  6   0  x 2  y 2   2  3  x     6  y  10  6  0

 2  3     6 
Radius of the circle  2 10 implies that      10  6  40

  2  3 2     6 2  40  24  160  10 2  160    4
Hence, the equations of the circle are given by
x 2  y 2  10 x  2 y  14  0 (when   4 )

x 2  y 2  14 x  10 y  34  0 (when   4 )

3 4
 4m  3m  4   3  3m  4   0  m ,
4 3
Since the product of the slopes is 1, the tangents from  0, 0  are at right angles.

10.(A) A  1, 3 and r1  1, respectively, are the centre and the radius of the first circle. B   3,1 and
r2  3, respectively, are the centre and radius of the second circle. So

AB  1  32   3  12  20  2 5  r1  r2
Therefore, the two circles do not have a common point.
Hence, the number of common tangents is 4.

11.(A) The common chord of the cirlces is L  S  S '  5 x  3 y  10  0. Note that PQ is L  0. Suppose
the tangents at points P and Q meet in T  h, k  . Therefore, the equation of the chord PQ is
hx  ky  12 ….(i)
However, L  5 x  3 y  10  0 ….(ii)
Is PQ. Therefore, form Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get h / 5  k / 3  12 / 10  6 / 5.

Hence h  6, k  . Therefore T  h, k    6, 

12.(A) k 2  a 2   Radius   h   k  b 
where C  h, k  is the centre. Therefore, h2  2bk  b 2  a 2  0. Hence, the locus of C  h, k  is

x 2  2by  b2  a 2  0
AB  a
BC  a

13.(D) The two given circles are of unit radius and having centres at  1, 0  and 1,0  , respectively. The
required circle is also of unit radius. Hence, the required circle must touch these two given circles
externally. Also the given circles x 2  y 2  2 x  0 and x 2  y 2  2 x  0 touch teach other externally at

origin. Hence, the centre of the required circle from the origin is 3. Therefore, the circles are
x 2  ( y  3)2  1 and x 2  ( y  3)2  1.

10
14.(C) Let S  x 2  y 2  4 x  2 y  8  0 and S '  x 2  y 2  2 x  4 y  8  0
Let L  S  S '  2 x  2 y  0
Hence, the required circle is of the form
S  L  x 2  y 2  4 x  2 y  8    x  y   0
This passes through  1, 4  .

This implies 1  16  4  8  8    1  4   0   1

Therefore, the required circle is x 2  y 2  3 x  3 y  8  0

15.(A) Let m be the slope of a side ABC  45

m 3
So that we have 1  tan 45 
1  3m

Therefore, 3m  1    m  3  m  2 or

Therefore, the equations of the lines are
y  3  2  x  2   2 x  y  7  0

y3  x  2  x  2 y  4  0

16.(C) We know that the lines represented by the equations are

2x  y  0
x  2y  0
2x  y 1  0
and x  2 y  1  0
3 1
Solving 2 x  y  1  0 and x  2 y  1  0, we have x   and y  
5 5
So that the slope of diagonal through origin is 1 / 3.
Since the other diagonal is 3 x  y  1  0, the diagonals are at right angles. Therefore, the parallelogram
is a square.

 3
17.(B) Let the line be y     x  c
 4
so that the intercepts on the x and y axes, respectively, are 4c / 3 and c. Therefore, the area of the
1 4c
triangle is  c  24  c 2  36  c  6
2 3
Since y-intercept is positive, the value c is 6 and the equation of the line is 3 x  4 y  24  0.

18.(C) Let the slope of the line be m. Now the equation of the line is y  2  m  x  4 

Therefore, 2 

When m  0 , the line is y  2  0

which is horizontal, when m  4 / 3, the line is y  2    x  4  4 x  3 y  10  0

The condition a  b  c  0 implies a 2  b 2  c 2  ab  bc  ca  0 which in turn implies that

Then 5h  12k  15 …(i)

3.(8) The equation

x2  y 2  4 x  4 y  0 ….(i)
represents a circle with centre  2, 2  and radius 8  2 2. Then the locus of point from which
perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the circle give in Eq. (i) is a concentric circle whose radius is 2
times the radius of the circle [this circle is called the director circle of the circle given in Eq.(i)]. Hence,
the radius of the director circle is  
2 2 2  4. Thus k  8.

4.(2) Clearly, the circles S  0 and S '  0 intersect and hence the equation of the common chord is
S  S '  8 x  15 y  26  0 ….(i)

Centre of the circle x 2  y 2  2 x is 1, 0  . Therefore, the distance of 1, 0  from the line S  S '  0
