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

If the variable line \(3 x+4 y=\alpha\) lies between the two circles \((x-1)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=1\) and \((x-9)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=4\) without intercepting a chord on either circle, then the sum of all the integral values of \(\alpha\) is .... .

  1. A \(164\)
  2. B \(166\)
  3. C \(165\)
  4. D \(199\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(165\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Both centres should lie on either side of the line as well as line can be tangent to circle. \((3+4-\alpha) \cdot(27+4-\alpha)\,<\,0\) \((7-\alpha) \cdot(31-\alpha)<0 \Rightarrow \alpha \in(7,31) \quad \ldots(1)\) \(d_{1}=\text { distance of }(1,1) \text { from line }\)…
