If the tangent at the point P on the circle x 2 + y 2 + 6 x + 6 y = 2 meets the straight line 5 x - 2 y + 6 = 0 at a point Q on the Y -axis, then the length of P Q is

Options

  1. A4
  2. B2 5
  3. C5
  4. D3 5

Correct answer

C. 5

Step-by-step solution

Given S   :   x 2 + y 2 + 6 x + 6 y = 2 L   :   5 x - 2 y + 6 = 0 At y axis x = 0 ⇒ - 2 y + 6 = 0 ⇒ y = 3 ⇒ Q = 0 ,   3 ∴ Legent of tangent Q P = S 1 = 0 + 9 + 0 + 18 - 2 = 5

A circle touches both the coordinate axes and the straight line L 4 x +3 y -6=0 in the first quadrant. If this circle lies below the line L =0 , then the equation of that circle is 2025If the smallest circle through the points of intersection of x^2+y^2=a^2 and x +y =p, 0 < p < a is x^2+y^2-a^2+ (x +y -p)=0 then = 2025If the lines 3 x-4 y+4=0 and 6 x-8 y-7=0 are the tangents to the same circle, then the area of that circle (in sq.units) is 2025Circles are drawn through the point (2,0) to cut intercepts of length 5 units on the X -axis.
