Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) II-Q

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation



Given centre of C1, C2 and C3 are collinear hence

001341hk1=0

3k=4h …(i)

MN is diameter of C3

MN=MC1+C1C2+C2N

2r=r1+C1C2+r2MN=2r

2r=3+3-02+4-02+4

r=6 …(ii)

Given C3 touches C1 at M

So C1C3=r-3

h2+k2=9 …(iii)

From (i) and (iii)

h=±95 and k=±125

So centre of C3 will be 95,125

Now equation of common chord of C1 and C2 will be

C1-C2=0

6x+8y=18

Equation of line XY is 3x+4y=9 …(iv)

Distance of line XY from origin

C1P=95

now in C1Py

C1P2+PY2=C1Y2

8125+PY2=9C1Y=r1=3

PY2=14425PY=125

Length of XY=2PY=245

Line ZW is line XY

Equation of ZW=3x+4y=9

Distance of C3 from ZW=395+4125-95

ZW=65

now ZW=262-652

ZW=2465



I 2h+k=2×95+125=305=6

IILength of ZWLength of XY=6

IIIArea of MZNArea of ZMW=12×MN×PZ12×ZW×MP

=12MN12ZW12×ZWMG+GPPZ=12ZW

=12×12×126512×2485245MC1=3C1A=95

=54

IV Common tangent to C1 and C3 is common chord to C1 and C3

C1-C3=0

3x+4y+15=0

Now this line is tangent to parabola

x2=8αy

x2=8α-3x-15y

4x2+24αx+120α=0

Apply D=0 (for tangent, it will have repeated roots)

α=103
