The diameter of the circle, whose Centre lies on the line x+y=2x + y = 2 in the first quadrant and which touches both the lines x=3x = 3 and y=2y = 2 is

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

Centre of circle lies on the line x+y=2x + y = 2.

Any point on the line can be assumed as \left(\alpha, 2 - \alpha\right).</p><p>SoletCentreofcircleis(α,2−α).</p><p>So let Centre of circle is \left(\alpha, 2 - \alpha\right).

Since both lines x=3x = 3 and y=2y = 2 touches the circle means distance from the Centre of circle to the line is equal to radius.

Let rr is radius of circle.

For the line x=3⇒x−3=0x = 3 ⇒ x - 3 = 0

r=∣α−31∣=∣α−3∣...(1)r = \left|\dfrac{\alpha - 3}{1}\right| = \left|\alpha - 3\right| . . . \left(1\right)

For the line y=2⇒y−2=0y = 2 ⇒ y - 2 = 0

r=∣(2−α)−21∣=∣α∣...(2)r = \left|\dfrac{\left(2 - \alpha\right) - 2}{1}\right| = \left|\alpha\right| . . . \left(2\right)

From \left(1\right)and(2)and \left(2\right)

\left|\alpha\right| = \left|\alpha - 3\right|</p><p>Squaringbothside</p><p></p><p>Squaring both side</p><p>⇒ {\alpha}^{2} = {\left(\alpha - 3\right)}^{2} ⇒ {\alpha}^{2} = {\alpha}^{2} - 6\alpha + 9</p><p></p><p>⇒ 6\alpha = 9 ⇒ \alpha = \dfrac{3}{2}</p><p>Weknow</p><p>We knowr = \left|\alpha\right| ⇒ r = \dfrac{3}{2}.</p><p>Diameter.</p><p>Diameter= 2r = 2\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) = 3.
