JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.1 circle and system of circle

If a circle of radius \(R\) passes through the origin \(O\) and intersects the coordinate axes at \(A\) and \(B,\) then the locus of the foot of perpendicular from \(O\) on \(AB\) is

  1. A \({({x^2} + {y^2})^2} = 4{R^2}{x^2}{y^2}\)
  2. B \({({x^2} + {y^2})^3} = 4{R^2}{x^2}{y^2}\)
  3. C \({({x^2} + {y^2})^2} = 4R{x^2}{y^2}\)
  4. D \(({x^2} + {y^2})(x + y) = {R^2}xy\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({({x^2} + {y^2})^3} = 4{R^2}{x^2}{y^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of \(AB = \frac{{ - h}}{k}\) Equation of \(AB\) is \(hx + ky = {h^2} + {k^2}\) \(A\left( {\frac{{{h^2} + {k^2}}}{h},0} \right),B\left( {0,\frac{{{h^2} + {k^2}}}{k}} \right)\) \(As,AB = 2R\) \( \Rightarrow {\left( {{h^2} + {k^2}} \right)^3} = 4{R^2}{h^2}{k^2}\)…
