JEE Advanced2008MathematicsStraight LinesActual
Consider L₁: 2 x+3 y+p-3=0 ; L₂: 2 x+3 y+p+3=0 where p is a real number and C: x^2+y^2+6 x-10 y+30=0 . Statement 1 If line L₁ is a chord of circle C , then line L₂ is not always a diameter of circle C . Statement 2 If line L₁ is a diameter of circle C , then line L₂ is not a chord of circle C .
Options
- AStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- DStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Correct answer
C. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Step-by-step solution
Equation of circle C is aligned (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 & =9+25-30=4 (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 & =2^2 Centre & =(3,-5) aligned If L₁ is diameter, then 2(3)+3(-5)+p-3=0 p=12 L₁ is 2 x+3 y+9=0 and L₂ is 2 x+3 y+15=0 Distance of centre of circle from L₂= | 2(3)+3(-5)+15 2^2+3^2 |= 6 13 < 2 [radius of circle] L₂ is a chord of circle C . Statement 2 is false.
