10-1.Circle and System of Circles

The normal at the point $(3, 4)$ on a circle cuts the circle at the point $(-1, -2)$. Then the equation of the circle is

A

${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x - 2y - 13 = 0$

B

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

C

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

D

${x^2} + {y^2} - 2x - 2y + 14 = 0$

Solution

(b) Since normal passes through the centre of the circle.

$\therefore $ The required circle is the circle with ends of diameter as $(3, 4)$ and $(-1, -2).$

$\therefore $ It's equation is $(x – 3)\,\,(x + 1)\, + (y – 4)(y + 2) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${x^2} + {y^2} – 2x – 2y – 11 = 0.$
