If a circle \(S\) passing through the points \(A(1,2)\) and \(B(2,1)\) has its centre \(\mathrm{C}\) located in the third quadrant at a distance of \(\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}\) units from \(\mathrm{AB}\), then the point \(\mathrm{P}(1,-2)\)

  1. A lies inside the circle \(\mathrm{S}\)
  2. B lies outside the circle \(\mathrm{S}\)
  3. C lies on the circle \(\mathrm{S}\)
  4. D lies on the line \(\mathrm{AB}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) lies inside the circle \(\mathrm{S}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Now, \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{AP}=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ & \text { and } \mathrm{PC}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} \\ & \text { so } \mathrm{AC}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2}=5 \end{aligned}\) Now,…
