TS EAMCET · Maths · Circle

A circle passes through the point \((3,4)\) and cuts the circle \(x^2+y^2=a^2\) orthogonally; the locus of its centre is a straight line. If the distance of this straight line from the origin is 25 , then \(a^2\) is equal to

  1. A \(250\)
  2. B \(225\)
  3. C \(100\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(225\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, the circle passes through \((3,4)\) and cuts the circle \(x^2+y^2=a^2\) orthogonally. \(\therefore \quad(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2=0\) Also, \(\quad x^2+y^2-a^2=0\) \(\therefore\) Fquation of radical axis,…
