10-1.Circle and System of Circles
hard

If the centre of a circle which passing through the points of intersection of the circles ${x^2} + {y^2} - 6x + 2y + 4 = 0$and ${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x - 4y - 6 = 0$ is on the line $y = x$, then the equation of the circle is

A

$7{x^2} + 7{y^2} - 10x + 10y - 11 = 0$

B

$7{x^2} + 7{y^2} + 10x - 10y - 12 = 0$

C

$7{x^2} + 7{y^2} - 10x - 10y - 12 = 0$

D

$7{x^2} + 7{y^2} - 10x - 12 = 0$

Solution

(c) Family of circles through points of intersection of two circles is ${S_1} + \lambda {S_2},\,\,(\lambda \ne – 1)$.

${x^2} + {y^2} – 6x + 2y + 4 + \lambda ({x^2} + {y^2} + 2x – 4y – 6) = 0$

Centre is $(3 – \lambda ,\; – 1 + 2\lambda )$.

It lies on $y = x$.

Therefore, $ – 1 + 2\lambda = 3 – \lambda $

$\Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{4}{3}$

Hence equation of circle can be found by substituting $\lambda $ in the family of circles above.
