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

Let the tangent to the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}=25\) at the point \(R (3,4)\) meet \(x\) -axis and \(y\) -axis at point \(P\) and \(Q\), respectively. If \(r\) is the radius of the circle passing through the origin \(O\) and having centre at the incentre of the triangle \(OPQ ,\) then \(r ^{2}\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{529}{64}\)
  2. B \(\frac{125}{72}\)
  3. C \(\frac{625}{72}\)
  4. D \(\frac{585}{66}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{625}{72}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tangent to circle \(3 x+4 y=25\) \(OP + OQ + OR =25\) In centre \(=\left(\frac{\frac{25}{4} \times \frac{25}{3}}{25}, \frac{\frac{25}{4} \times \frac{25}{3}}{25}\right)\) \(=\left(\frac{25}{12}, \frac{25}{12}\right)\)…
