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

Two circles each of radius \(5\, units\) touch each other at the point \((1,2)\). If the equation of their common tangent is \(4 \mathrm{x}+3 \mathrm{y}=10\), and \(\mathrm{C}_{1}(\alpha, \beta)\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{2}(\gamma, \delta)\), \(\mathrm{C}_{1} \neq \mathrm{C}_{2}\) are their centres, then \(|(\alpha+\beta)(\gamma+\delta)|\) is equal to .... .

  1. A \(40\)
  2. B \(39\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of line joining centres of circles \(=\frac{4}{3}=\tan \theta\) \(\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{3}{5}, \sin \theta=\frac{4}{5}\) Now using parametric form \(\frac{x-1}{\cos \theta}=\frac{y-2}{\sin \theta}=\pm 5\)…
