Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} x^2+y^2-2 x-2 \lambda y-8 & =0 \\ \left(x^2+y^2-2 x-8\right)-\lambda(2 y) & =0 \\ x^2+y^2-2 x-8 & =0 \text { and } 2 y=0 \Rightarrow y=0 \\ x^2-2 x-8 & =0 \end{aligned}\) Distance between points \(A, B=\left|x_1-x_2\right|\)…
