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

Let \(ABCD\) be a square of side of unit length. Let a circle \(C _{1}\) centered at \(A\) with unit radius is drawn. Another circle \(C _{2}\) which touches \(C _{1}\) and the lines \(AD\) and \(AB\) are tangent to it, is also drawn. Let a tangent line from the point \(C\) to the circle \(C _{2}\) meet the side \(AB\) at \(E\). If the length of \(EB\) is \(\alpha+\sqrt{3} \beta,\) where \(\alpha, \beta\) are integers, then \(\alpha+\beta\) is equal to.........

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here \(AO + OD =1\) or \((\sqrt{2}+1) r =1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad r =\sqrt{2}-1\) equation of circle \(( x - r )^{2}+( y - r )^{2}= r ^{2}\) Equation of \(CE\) \(y-1=m(x-1)\) \(m x-y+1-M=0\) It is tangent to circle \(\therefore\left|\frac{m r-r+1-m}{\sqrt{m^{2}+1}}\right|=r\)…
